Square Enix has announced that it will launch a live stream showcasing Xenogears music to mark the game’s 27th anniversary. People from all around the world will be able to watch the nine-hour stream on YouTube on February 11, 2025, in American time zones, or February 12, 2025, for the rest of the world.
The company will play various music tracks from Xenogears soundtracks in this stream. It implies that it will play not only the original tracks used in the game but also the album-exclusive arrangements of the tracks.
Squaresoft originally released Xenogears for PlayStation in Japan on February 11, 1998. However, Square Enix will time the worldwide stream in American time zones, even though the game’s English localization came out in North America in October 1998. The company’s Japanese X account acknowledged the discrepancy when it announced the stream, which will go live in Japan on February 12, 2025, from 12 PM until 9 PM JST.
Even though Xenogears has been widely regarded as one of Squaresoft’s defining RPG titles, Square Enix has still yet to release the PS1 game on subsequent platforms outside of Game Archives for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita. The company has been instead focused on releasing action figures and model kits based on the title’s Gears like Fei’s Weltall and Rico’s Stier.
The Xenogears Music Special Live Stream will be broadcast on YouTube on February 11, 2025, at 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST.
