Today, Nintendo announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch console during their February 2022 Direct. The game appears to be something fresh yet at the same time familiar, which is what makes a great game to begin with. A release date was announced with the trailer. It will be coming out in September 2022. From giant mechs, swords, etc., this looks to be one of the most impressive Switch games to date from a visual perspective. Here is Nintendo’s full synopsis of the game:
“Xenoblade Chronicles 3: A vast world awaits in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the next game in the acclaimed RPG series from developer MONOLITHSOFT. Players will step into the roles of protagonists Noah and Mio amid turmoil between the hostile nations of Keves and Agnus. Six characters hailing from those nations will take part in a grand tale with “life” as its central theme. Explore a new world that will connect the futures of both Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, launching for Nintendo Switch in September 2022.”
It’s interesting that it will connect with both Xenoblade and Xenoblade 2! The possibilities are endless and there’s no saying what characters may pop up (Melia, please!) Xenoblade has always been a fantastical tale and the third installment in the franchise should be no different.
