Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition will launch for Switch on May 29. This release will include enhanced visuals, re-recorded music, a new chaptered called “Future Connected” and other quality of life changes.
Here’s what Nintendo had to say about the release of this title.
Join the fight between man and machine in the definitive edition of this critically-acclaimed RPG.
Discover the origins of Shulk as he and his companions clash against a seemingly-unstoppable mechanical menace. Wield a future-seeing blade, chain together attacks, and carefully position your party members in strategic, real-time combat as you journey across a massive world.
During an attack from the mechanical invaders known as the Mechon, Shulk discovers that he can tap into the full power of a mysterious blade known as the Monado. With the mighty Monado in hand, Shulk sets out to defeat the Mechon once and for all.
In addition to the Mechon, you’ll run into wildlife that ranges from docile to deadly. Keep an eye on what attracts monsters’ attention to avoid unwanted conflict…or try your hand at bringing down an ultra-powerful Unique Monster.
Upgrade your party as you progress through the adventure by selecting equipment, enhancing weapon skills, and using benefit-granting gems. Put your dependable companions to work by filling the party gauge to trigger a Chain Attack and attack enemies in quick succession!
In addition to this, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition will also receive a Collector’s Edition. Included in this is a steelbook case, digital soundtrack sampler, 256-page art book, poster, and a copy of the game.
Look for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition on May 29, 2020, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
