Flash! Nintendo is making a big announcement for Xenoblade Chronicles that hardly anyone could have expected. The license will return in the coming months.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the final game in Tetsuya Takahashi’s trilogy, but it doesn’t necessarily mark the complete end of the series. Additionally, the creator spoke of a hypothetical Xenoblade 4 in 2023. “If there is another one, it will probably be something very different to what has been done before. Stylistically and musically, I want to make it something that lives up to everyone’s expectations, and in a good way.” he explained.
Xenoblade Chronicles makes a surprise return to the Switch
If Xenoblade 4 is at least not released publicly, the license remains one of Nintendo’s gems. While fans didn’t expect to see them again for several years, Big N surprises everyone and reveals a huge surprise that no one expected. The Japanese manufacturer has announced the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch! What can you expect from this new version? Graphics update for the current console, but also improvements regarding the scenario.
“This version of the epic sci-fi RPG is enriched with improved graphics and additional content, including new story elements! » states Nintendo France regarding Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Zippo, a well-known leaker in the publishing scene, had already said that a return of the game was in sight, but at the time he was talking about an edition for the future Nintendo Switch 2. But that doesn’t mean there will be no Switch 2 version , but simply that the new machine does not have to benefit from it.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition already has one Release date March 20, 2025 on Nintendo Switchas well as an official trailer. Big N therefore continues the rehabilitation of overlooked Wii U games with the return of a very popular game. The Metacritic average of press (84) and player (8.7/10) is very similar to that of Chronicles 3 – 89/100 (press) versus 8.7/10 (player). In any case, it is an announcement that comes out of nowhere and clearly causes surprise on social networks.
