Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – New Trailer Reveals Story Details and Gameplay Enhancements

A fresh trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition offers deeper insights into the game's narrative and characters. The original game concluded with a cliffhanger, but this upcoming release promises expanded story content, potentially resolving the lingering questions from the 2015 Wii U release.

The trailer, titled "The Year is 2054," features Elma, a key protagonist, recounting the events leading to humanity's arrival on the planet Mira. It showcases gameplay footage, highlighting the adaptation of the game's mechanics for the Nintendo Switch, given the absence of the Wii U's GamePad.

The Xenoblade Chronicles series, a JRPG creation by Monolith Soft's Tetsuya Takahashi, is exclusive to Nintendo platforms. The first game's Western release was secured through fan efforts, and its success spurred three sequels: Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and the original Xenoblade Chronicles X. The Definitive Edition brings the entire series to the Nintendo Switch.

The trailer depicts Earth's involvement in an intergalactic conflict between alien factions in 2054. A group of survivors escaped aboard the White Whale, searching for a new home, ultimately crash-landing on Mira. A critical piece of technology, the Lifehold (containing most of the human population in stasis), was lost in the crash. The player's mission is to recover the Lifehold before its power depletes.

Expanded Narrative and Gameplay Refinements

The Definitive Edition will feature new story elements, potentially addressing the unresolved ending of the original game. The title is a vast and ambitious RPG, requiring players to explore Mira, deploy probes, and combat native and alien creatures to secure humanity's survival.

The Wii U version heavily utilized the GamePad for mapping, interactions, and both single and multiplayer functions. The Switch version streamlines this, integrating the GamePad's functionality into a dedicated menu. A mini-map now resides in the upper-right corner, mirroring other Xenoblade titles, and other UI elements have been repositioned to the main screen. While the UI appears uncluttered, these changes may subtly alter the gameplay experience compared to the original.
