2015’s Xenoblade Chronicles X, the spiritual successor to the original Xenoblade Chronicles, is finally heading to Nintendo Switch in 2025 (after almost a decade of Wii U exclusivity) in the form of an expanded remaster – Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.
Check out the official announcement trailer here:
Monolith Software’s re-release will supposedly feature “newly added story elements” and visual enhancements, but specific details have not been announced as of yet. The decision to port the game to a more popular platform seems like the right move for Nintendo, especially since Switch unit sales outnumber those of the Wii U by over ten times.
The game’s official synopsis reads: “Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation, a small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira — and now it falls to you, as a member of Blade, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells.”
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will be released for the Nintendo Switch on 20 March 2025.
