NEW TRAILER PROVIDES A FRESH LOOK AT XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X: DEFINITIVE EDITION
A new trailer published today offers a brand-new look at Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20th, 2025. Originally released on Wii U in 2015, the sci-fi RPG comes to Nintendo Switch with enhanced visuals, added story elements, new characters, new Skell to unlock, and more. Check out the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – The year is 2054 trailer now, which teases some of the additional content coming to the game.
The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira. Now it falls to players, who’ll play as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction.
Mira is a sprawling alien world filled with vast oceans, expansive grassy plains, towering mountain ranges, exotic jungles and more, each with their own secrets to discover and threats to face. Players can move seamlessly around the surface of the planet and explore many huge areas, watch their ecosystems come to life, and encounter a range of unfamiliar, gargantuan beasts that can be battled to gain valuable resources.
Once they’ve proven themselves to BLADE, players will earn the right to pilot and personalise their very own Skell – a powerful exoskeleton that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat.
