Players will fight for survival on a mysterious alien world and explore the planet with their own giant mech in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch. Originally available on Wii U in 2015, the action RPG comes to Nintendo Switch with enhanced visuals, added story elements, new characters, a new Skell to unlock, and more!

Check out the new Everything you need to know about Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Nintendo Switch) trailer to see it in action. 

The year is 2054. 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. Now it falls to members of BLADE to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction.

Mira is a sprawling alien world filled with vast oceans, expansive grassy plains, towering mountain ranges, exotic jungles and more, each with their own secrets to discover and threats to face. Players can move seamlessly around the surface of Mira and explore many huge areas, watch the planet’s ecosystems come to life, and encounter a range of unfamiliar, gargantuan beasts that can be battled to gain valuable resources.

Once they’ve proven themselves to BLADE, players will earn the right to pilot and personalise their very own Skell – a powerful exoskeleton that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat. In Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, players can unlock the new Skell “Hraesvelg.” 

Players can also join a squad of up to 31 other players online and work together to complete tasks such as collecting a certain number of items or felling specific enemies. Up to four squad members can team up online and face off against powerful foes. Additionally, they can recruit the avatars of other players to their team in the main story.
