Xenocider Dreamcast Physical Release Returns to US via Video Games New York
The Dreamcast community has another reason to celebrate, as Video Games New York has announced a fresh physical edition of Xenocider for Sega’s beloved console.
Developed by Spanish homebrew creator Retro Sumus, Xenocider has captured the attention of retro gaming enthusiasts ever since its initial launch on the Dreamcast in 2021.
This new distribution caters specifically to collectors in the United States, expanding the accessibility of one of the system’s most lauded recent releases. Originally unveiled in 2014 through an interview with Dreamcast Junkyard, Xenocider’s development embodied the persistent passion seen in the Dreamcast indie scene.
Retro Sumus first sought funding via Kickstarter in 2016, but the campaign fell short of its target.
Refusing to let the project fade, the team turned to alternative financing, ultimately releasing Xenocider in both digital and physical formats in early 2021. The game's first physical edition rapidly sold out on Retro Sumus’s website, shifting the focus to digital access for most fans.
Now, with Video Games New York’s involvement, collectors have a fresh opportunity to secure a standard edition featuring newly revised cover art.
Priced at $39.99 USD, this updated release aligns perfectly with existing North American Dreamcast collections, continuing the tradition of niche yet high-quality releases for the platform. In a concise description released by Video Games New York, Xenocider is described as an intense science fiction journey, placing players in charge of a courageous space explorer striving to defend humanity from an alien threat.
The game boasts striking 3D visuals and fast-paced, on-rails shooter action—all executed within the technical confines of the Sega Dreamcast.
Players traverse hazardous environments, battling swarms of extraterrestrial foes and unlocking an array of devastating weaponry, amounting to a pulse-pounding, retro-inspired experience. Since its release, Xenocider has been recognized by several retro gaming outlets for its polished gameplay and impressive use of Dreamcast hardware, standing out as a high-water mark in the homebrew community.
With this renewed physical launch, Video Games New York underscores its dedication to supporting retro hardware and the vibrant community behind it.
This initiative also coincided with the store’s recent physical release of the 240P Test Suite, further strengthening its ties to niche Dreamcast collectors. US-based buyers can obtain the new Xenocider edition directly from the Video Games New York website.
For international fans, digital downloads remain readily available, while select European retailers such as Pixel Heart continue to offer the original physical print.
Ultimately, this partnership marks a significant step for preservation and accessibility within the retro gaming landscape, ensuring Xenocider remains within reach for both new players and devoted Dreamcast aficionados.
