To close out last night’s Nintendo Direct event, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was officially announced for the Nintendo Switch.
The Xenoblade Chronicles franchise has proved to be one of Nintendo’s most popular RPGs over the years. The first game in the series was released for the Nintendo Wii U in 2010.
In 2017 its long-awaited sequel would arrive for the Nintendo Switch as well as a remaster of the original game in 2020. So, it’s fair to say that fans have been eagerly awaiting the next mainline entry in this series for quite a few years.
Alas, here we are in 2022 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will finally arrive later this year. According to the press release: “a vast world awaits in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the next game in the acclaimed RPG series from developer MONOLITHSOFT.”
The story will continue
“Players will step into the roles of protagonists Noah and Mio amid turmoil between the hostile nations of Keves and Agnus. Six characters hailing from those nations will take part in a grand tale with “life” as its central theme. Explore a new world that will connect the futures of both Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2,” concludes the synopsis.
