Releasing today in Japan for the PlayStation 2 is NAMCO x CAPCOM, a crossover action tactical RPG featuring characters from some of Namco's and Capcom's most critically-acclaimed game franchises.

The game centers around two original characters created for the game named Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu. The two of them work for a special unit called Shinra and they are tasked with investigating spirit and otherworldly disturbances.

They are initially investigating a strange "sleeping sickness" in the Shibuya area of Japan, when it becomes apparent that something much larger is at stake. Characters, both good and evil, from other times and other worlds begin appearing in Japan in the year 20XX.

An avid listener of Yasunori Mitsuda's work, or anyone who has played Xenosaga: Episode I will recognize the two featured Xenosaga tracks "Battle" and "Battling KOS-MOS" on the NAMCO x CAPCOM Original Soundtrack released July 7, 2005.
