Xenoblade Chronicles X

Whether you’re a fan of XenoSaga or XenoGears or just looking for an open world experience with giant robots, Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles X is expected to be a rollicking good time. You’ll be journeying to a planet called Mira and attempting to re-establish human civilization while similarly avoiding an early extinction via killer aliens.

Also giant robots called Dolls. But honestly, you should just hear “giant robots” and require no further motivation.

Combined with the open world mechanics and the ability to explore the world inside your own personal Doll, which can transform into different vehicles, Xenoblade Chronicles X will continue Monolith Soft’s tradition of compelling JRPGs well into the new year.
