Nintendo announced that Xenoblade Chronicles X would be coming to Switch late last year as Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and they’ve released new gameplay and story trailers for it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was originally released on Wii U in 2015, and Nintendo is promising extra narrative elements that fill out the story more so than the Wii U version. Also, the gameplay utilized the Wii U gamepad, which the Switch doesn’t have. No details as yet on what changes or additions are being made to the story, or the gameplay to compensate for the lack of a gamepad, but overall, the game is looking good.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025. Check out the new trailers below:

Rebuild humanity on the mysterious planet Mira

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 you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of giant, pilotable robots called Skells!

The visually enhanced edition of this open-world RPG contains newly added story elements and more.

A massive world full of surprises

Explore planet Mira

Discover bizarre and beautiful plants, animals, and landscapes on your journey. Map new areas, collect resources, and try to locate fellow survivors as humanity builds New Los Angeles.

Power up with Skells

Once you have enough experience, you’ll earn the right to purchase and pilot your own fully customizable Skell. Use it to battle bigger and stronger enemies, and travel to places you couldn’t reach on foot.

Build your squad

Recruit party members to your cause from a memorable cast of characters. Each companion has different combat and support skills to offer. You can customize their gear, weapons, and more at any time.
