Yesterday was a great day for fans of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, as a new trailer showcased the familiar and the new for the upcoming port that’ll drop on the Switch on March 20th. However, if you’re uncertain of what is new and what is old, Nintendo is here to help make that clear. In a post on Twitter, the publisher revealed one of the new Skells that you’ll get to interact with. It’s known as “Hraesvelg,” and it’ll be piloted by a new character in the game. It features a unique weapon and a special way of getting around. Plus, it just looks cool!
“Any time you need a little extra help, give me a call.”

Many have pointed out that some of the characters shown in the trailer were ones that were in concept art for the game but never made it past that stage. Clearly, Monolith Soft went back to their notes to ensure that things are as big as possible for the port. Many fans, including us three hosts from the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast, are pumped for what’s coming with the game, especially the new story content. The wait will feel long, but the payoff will be worth it!
