Xenoblade Chronicles 3 announced for Switch

Nintendo announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 3, developed by Monolith Soft, is coming to the Nintendo Switch in September this year. The fourth instalment in the much-loved Xenoblade series, the trailer showcase lush landscapes, giant mechons, and grand drama.

To my eye, the game looks a lot more like the first Xenoblade game than the sequel. It also features a prominent shot of the protagonist holding the Monado, Shulk’s iconic sword from the original. Time will only tell what sort of connection there is between the two, as the games, for the most part, don’t really have any narrative crossover.

The last game in the series, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, came out back in 2017, the launch year for the Nintendo Switch. In terms of sales, it was very successful, and was followed by a remaster of the original Xenoblade. Fans of the series may also be wondering where Xenoblade Chronicles X is, a spiritual successor to the first game. Still, with all the newfound love for the series, it would be hard to imagine the game not making its way to Nintendo’s hit console.
