Xanadu Next[2] is a 2005 action role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom for Windows.

An N-Gage version was developed by ScriptArts and published by Nokia a few months prior to original Japanese release.

The player character is a dishonored knight hired by a scholar named Charlotte L. Wells to investigate the ruins of Harlech Island on her behalf.

Almost as soon as he begins, however, he is mortally wounded by a mysterious warrior named Dvorak and must undergo a life-saving process which binds him to Harlech.

He will now die if he ever leaves – unless he can find the fabled Dragon Slayer sword, which is the only item capable of severing his ties with Harlech and giving him his life back.
