Nintendo released an overview trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition showing off the world and various gameplay systems. It released ahead of the remaster’s release on March 20, 2025.
The overview trailer is meant primarily for anyone new to Xenoblade Chronicles X, as it is designed to introduce them to the game’s various gameplay systems. Things begin by looking at the introduction and character creator. From there, the game’s combat is detailed, with an introduction to Arts, the Overdrive system and the use of the Skell mechs in battle. All this will be familiar to players of the original Wii U version of the game, but it may be a suitable refresher for those who need it. It also details that the online multiplayer elements of the original game will be returning for this release.
There are also introductions to the game’s story and world. New Los Angeles, the player’s home city and central hub of Xenoblade Chronicles X, got a significant focus. As well as an introduction to the city as a whole, the overview trailer also discusses how the city acts as the place to get most of your quests. Again, this will all be familiar to Wii U players, although the trailer does end with a teaser of the remaster’s new story elements. We get glimpses of a new floating continent, which has been seen in previews of new characters, along with an ominous encroaching orb of energy.
Xenoblade Chronicles X originally released for the Wii U in 2015. It was the first followup game to Xenoblade Chronicles and offered a stand-alone story with similar mechanics. With the release of the Definitive Edition, all Xenoblade games will be available for the Switch.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will release for the Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025.
