Nintendo has revealed Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the long-awaited sequel to 2017’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and it is scheduled to hit Switch this September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Closing out today’s Nintendo Direct, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 came as quite a surprise. That’s because it showed a lot of imagery that looked similar to Xenoblade Chronicles X, the spin-off\u00a0to the first Xenoblade Chronicles. Considering that’s one of the last big Wii U games that hasn’t yet been ported to the Switch, it seemed possible that today’s direct was finally revealing that port. However, that’s not the case because Nintendo and Monolith Soft are ready to move forward in the story with a threequel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The trailer begins with plenty of flute \u2013 who doesn’t love a good flute\u00a0solo? \u2013 before jumping straight into the action. Of course, Noah, the game’s protagonist,\u00a0is seen fighting around the battlefield with a Xenoblade in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From there, our protagonist\u00a0and his party begin a massive adventure that seems to take them all around Mira (unless 3 takes place elsewhere). Like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the Xenoblade games before it, Chronicles 3 seems to feature a vast and open world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s what Nintendo had to say in a press release released shortly after the Direct: “A vast world awaits in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the next game in the acclaimed RPG\u00a0series from Monolith Soft. Players will step into the\u00a0roles of protagonists Noah and Mio amid turmoil\u00a0between 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.”<\/p>\n
