Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition gets a second trailer and 7 minutes of footage, Early Support Pack announced
Back in October, Nintendo announced that fan-favourite Xenoblade Chronicles X would get the “Definitive Edition” treatment with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, releasing on Nintendo Switch on March 20th.
Since that reveal, neither Nintendo nor Monolith Soft. have shown anything new, but this changed today with the reveal of a second trailer for the game.
Here’s the new trailer (with English and Japanese versions):
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 you, as a member of the New Los Angeles colony’s BLADE organization, 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. 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 you have proven yourself to BLADE, you can even unlock your own Skell: a powerful exoskeleton that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel and wield immense strength in combat.
If that’s not enough for you, here’s another video with over 7 minutes of footage:
