Unless you live under a piece of Mechon junk, you’ll know that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 got a brand new trailer yesterday from nothing. But even more exciting than that, the game is coming much faster than we thought it would be – July 29th! Pre-orders are also already open!
There were a lot of new story beats dropped in the new trailer, which shows characters, environments, the combat system and even the music. Several locations from the game are also reminiscent of a few locations from Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Honestly, it looks and sounds flourishingly beautiful.
While we were all frothing at the mouth of the new trailer, the Japanese website for the game opened up. And if you do not get arrested and frozen in your seat by the beautiful main theme that germinates out of your speakers, dig a little deeper and you will find some brand new screenshots. Fortunately, we’ve gathered a lot of them for you here, so take a look at what your future might look like in Xenoblade Chronicles 3:
Battles look chaotic as always, and the story seems to be filled with the Xeno-style drama and stakes that we know and love. We talked about what makes the Xenoblade series so beloved and why you should be so excited that 3’s launch has been brought forward, as you should read:
