Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are coming together for a crossover. On November 9, a brand new sidequest will be released “into the wild” in the latest Zelda installment. The reward for the quest? Rex’s costume from Xenoblade Chronicles 2! While it may seem somewhat small and insignificant, this is a really cool crossover for fans of both of the series’ such as myself. The both may actually end up being my Games of the Year, so for me it’s a win-win situation.
I am interested to see though what special features Rex’s outfit brings to the table. It has to be more than a costume, right?
The sidequest will be available on November 9, just in time to promote Xenoblade 2, which releases on December 1. This marketing by Nintendo with one of their most prolific franchises is genius and I would hope to see more crossovers between the two franchises in the future, as Monolith Soft has helped work on the open-world aspects of Zelda!
