Nintendo Has published a new article sharing more details about the new epilogue of the long-awaited Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, which will officially premiere on Nintendo Switch the next month.
The Reddit user CyanTH1 has translated and summarized the information, highlighting the most important details of the new content "Connected Futures". You can find a translation below:
Connected Futures
- 1 year has passed since the last battle
- The world is at peace, all the different races are working together, restoration is progressing, that's how it was.
- Then Melia lost Shulk when she suggested they search for Alcamoth, the imperial capital.
- The two jumped aboard the Machina Junks ship, and while searching for the capital, were greeted by a surprise attack.
- The place where Junks landed was called "Bionis Shoulder."
A new world
- The world widens once more. The setting for the adventure is called Bionis Shoulder, never seen before in the main story. In the Bionis Shoulder area, a strange mineral is causing the land masses to start floating.
- New characters (New friends)
- Members of the new race "Kino" and "Nene" will join you. They are still young, but their fighting skills will embarrass even adults!
- Kino: Struggling to become a hero for the sake of his father, tired of strangers, he can use the rifle that his father gave him.
- Nene: Kino's adoptive mother, very stable. She may look cute but she is a powerful fighter!
A new adventure
- Just like in the main game, many formidable and different enemies will be waiting for Shulk and his friends. Since Shulk has lost his ability to see the future, they will have to be more careful than ever during battles.
- New enemy "The Beasts of the Mist": The new monsters wrapped in a dark mist are called "Beasts of the Mist". They are not just powerful opponents, the waves they emit draw other enemies towards them and will cause them to attack Shulk and the group Nopon-rangers!
- Scattered throughout Bionis Shoulder is the registered surveyor team, the Nopon-rangers (Nopongers).
- By befriending them and fulfilling their requests, you will either assist him with his own distinctive abilities, and will assist Shulk and company with their abilities, or use a powerful death attack in combat.
