Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is out December 1st, and there's a lengthy new trailer to celebrate that fact
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has become one of the most-desired games for RPG fans on the Nintendo Switch, and with good reason - while Xenoblade Chronicles X was a bit of an iffy entry in the series, the original Xenoblade on Wii is beloved for good reason - it's an absolutely amazing game.
Nintendo is getting fully behind this latest sequel in a big way, and they featured it prominently in the latest Nintendo Direct. There were three major announcements - here's what you need to know:
- Xenoblade Chronicles X releases on December 1st, 2017. This year! Yes!
- The game is getting a special edition in both Europe and North America which features a steelbook, a soundtrack selection CD and a 200 page artbook.
- There's also a limited edition Xenoblade Chronicles 2 themed Switch Pro Controller with an appropriate decal and color scheme.
Also, there's a massive new trailer. It's well worth watching that, so here it is - then we'll get into the rest.
