At long last, it’s back. Formerly locked onto the Wii U, the massive sci-fi role-playing game that is Xenoblade Chronicles X is heading to the Switch as Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. And fans, will find this isn’t the same old romp through New Los Angeles.
Naturally, the 2025 edition of the game will feature enhanced visuals, but that’s just the start. Nintendo says that the title will also stock what sounds like a decent amount of all-new content, including “added story elements, new characters, new Skell mechs to unlock and more.”
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.
Nintendo press release
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is inbound for the Switch, and launches on March 20th, 2025.
