Shortly before Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s launch last year, Nintendo announced that the action RPG would receive four waves of DLC as part of its expansion pass, with the fourth and final wave set to bring an full-fledged story expansion. The first wave launched alongside the game itself, while the next couple of waves have brought new characters, challenge battles, and more. Now, we might also have a vague idea of when to expect the fourth and final wave.
Nintendo recently announced via the official Japanese Twitter page for Xenoblade that Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s official soundtrack will be launching on July 29 for those who purchase its Limited Edition, with its regular version set to release shortly afterward on August 2. Interestingly, in addition to music from the base game itself, the OST is also set to include music from the game’s as-of-yet unreleased expansion, leading to speculation that said expansion will likely release before then.
Back when it was first announced, the story DLC wasn’t given a specific release timeframe, with Nintendo instead saying that it would be out sometime before the end of 2023. If, however, its music is going to be included in the OST when it launches in July, one would imagine the DLC itself will have been out by that time.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will also be a year old in July, so that might be an appropriate time to release its final wave of DLC content. Hopefully we’ll have more clarity on this from Nintendo and Monolith Soft in the near future. Stay tuned until then for more details.
