Xevious Resurrection (ゼビウスリザレクション) is a 2009 vertical-scrolling shooter video game published for the PlayStation 3 by Namco Bandai Games.

Reception
Critics believed Resurrection was the stand out of Namco Museum Essentials. Mark Bussler of Classic Game Room found it to be a solid and addicting follow-up to the original, with nice remixes of Xevious music cues and its trial-and-error design. Though he felt Resurrection was ultimately hindered by the letterboxed screen resolution, Bussler believed it was still worth the purchase of Essentials.

In February 2009, Xevious creator Masanobu Endo briefly mentioned his thoughts on Resurrection in a thread on the 2channel message board. While he was lukewarm towards the game's deviations from the original, such as the pre-set placement of air-based enemies, Endo believed Resurrection was among the better Xevious sequels and re-imaginings so far.
