With its release date drawing near, more information about the PlayStation2 RPG Xenosaga is becoming readily available, and another of the game's characters has now been introduced. The character is called an "albedo," although whether this is the character's name or race is unclear. It is also not certain exactly what role the albedo will play in the game's storyline; with a somewhat sinister appearance and a rather flamboyant style, it is possible this is one of the game's villains.

Slated for release in Japan on February 28th, Xenosaga promises to be one of the year's more prominent releases. While no date has been set for North American release, Namco has confirmed a localization.
