However, around the time Xevious was released, the head of Groove Corporation supposedly stole the money and movie masters and ran off with them, which caused the company to go out of business. According to an Amazon Japan page, the film was also planned for VHS and DVD release on September 25th, 2002, by Ken Media. Xevious and several other Groove Corporation films were shown at a summer roadshow in Japan, which was organized by a company called "Garinpeiro". Official PlayStation 2 Magazine reported that Namco teased the film again at the Tokyo International Anime Fair in May. While the production team largely consisted of newcomers to the anime industry, it did feature a few high-profile names, such as Masafumi Mima and Shinya Ogura. The film was initially announced in February 2002, though very little information was given at the time. This may be one reason for why the film has largely been forgotten, even by fans of the franchise. Upon release, the film received generally negative reception from those who saw it, with many criticizing the poor quality of the animation and writing. It likely also retained the plot detail from the game that the GAMP were the original inhabitants of the Earth, making the humans the true invaders. The film assumes the backstory that humans had created an advanced civilization over 10,000 years ago, but that it collapsed from war.

Takeru then pilots the Solvalou spacecraft to destroy the GAMP's base on the planet Andor. Ru Mi warns Takeru about GAMP (General Artificial Matrix Producer), a race of aliens that plan to attack and conquer Earth. The film takes place in the year 2150 A.D, as a space pilot named Takeru and human-computer named Martha find a mysterious little girl named Ru Mi in a large space vessel.
