Developed by Monolith Soft, open-world role-playing game Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will launch for Nintendo Switch consoles on March 20th of 2025.

Largely independent of the storyline of Xenoblade Chronicles, the action role-playing game is set in the year 2054. The plot centers on the crew of the USS White Whale, as they crash land on an untamed planet, called Mira. The protagonists pilot powerful giant robots called Skells in a bid to rescue humanity from the brink of destruction.

Xenoblade Chronicles X debuted on the Wii-U console in April of 2015, with series creator Tetsuya Takahashi serving as executive director. Sony Music published the soundtrack album the following month, pressed on four compact discs. Original music is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, with excerpts of all tracks streaming on digital music store Ototoy.

As described on the product page, the visually enhanced edition will incorporate new story elements and other features. The announcement trailer can be viewed on the YouTube channel of Nintendo of America.


From the product page:

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—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!
