With Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition arriving next month, Nintendo has a new trailer outlining everything players need to know. Unlike other titles in the franchise, the story is standalone and sees humanity fleeing from a war between two alien factions in 2054.
When the White Whale crashlands on Mira, you venture out as part of BLADE to assist and protect New Los Angeles. Whether it’s hunting dangerous monsters, rescuing citizens or detailing Mira’s expanses, there’s a lot to do. Combat should also be familiar to series’ fans, though it offers a new feature, Overdrive, for quickly using Arts off cooldown for 20 seconds.
You can also pilot Skells, mechs with their own unique abilities and functions dealing extensive damage. They also transform, making exploration that much easier.
Alongside the single-player story, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition offers online multiplayer where up to 32 players can partake in world missions to complete tasks. Four players can also squad up and take on challenging battles. If that wasn’t enough, there’s new post-story content with fresh threats to tackle.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launches on March 20th for Nintendo Switch.
