Read the update below:
Greetings to everyone playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is Director Takahashi at Monolith Soft. Today I’d like to talk about the main updates that will be seen in the Ver. 1.1.1 update, which will be distributed next week on Friday, December 22.
In addition to some bug fixes, we will address the following points:
- An easy mode will be added to Tiger! Tiger!
- When you press the X button, the Skip Travel screen will open the map to your current location. We hope this will make it easier to spot Skip Travel locations and Salvage Points on the map.
- An additional 1:1 zoom on the mini map will be displayed by pressing the L Stick. This will allow improved visibility of your surroundings and make it easier to check quest locations.
We will further improve the convenience of the mini map as we add more quests and additional elements for second playthroughs next year for all players (not just those who purchased the Expansion Pass!) We appreciate your continued patience.
- In your second playthrough, you will be able to have “those” Blades join your party! You can also dispatch Blades like Pyra and Dromarch as a Merc Group, and unlock the “LV 4 Special” of a certain Blade.
- We will distribute the following useful items to those who purchased the Expansion Pass:
- Driver Essentials Set: 10 x Rare Core Crystal, 1 x Legendary Core Crystal, 3 x Overdrive Protocol
- Upgrade Parts for Poppi: 30,000 ether
- Pyra’s Favorite Things: 5 x Jenerossi Tea
- Nia’s Favourite Things: 5 x Ardainian Bear Carving
Monolith Soft will continue to add improvements that will make the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 even more enjoyable for a long time. And even though there may be times when we cannot address every need immediately because we are working on these improvements in parallel with the Expansion Pass, we truly appreciate your continued support for Xenoblade Chronicles 2!
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is available now worldwide for the Nintendo Switch.

I like how Monolith Soft put attention to his players.
Hopefully they can improve the resolution in handheld mode.
Nice to see they're actually doing something about the map, my only gripe of the game.
Map improvements are great.
Also nice to learn a favorite item of Nia's. Will have to give her that when I get home.
Good to see!
Excellent. The map is preventing the game from being truly great.
There are two Monolith studios?!
Well what do you mean?
There are two Monolith game devs, one simply Monolith Productions and the other Monolith Soft.
Also there are within Monolith Soft two studios. They began forming this structure I believe halfway through Xenoblade Chronicles X's development. Which is how 2 got started several months before X launched in Japan.
I see. Yes, Xenoblade seem quite the departure from the F.E.A.R series.
Nuvendil
Doesn't Monolith soft have three studios? I was under the impression that they that two locations, headquarters in tokio and a second newer one in Kyoto to be closer to Nintys headquarters.
I think the Tokio studio has two teams and the Kyoto team mostly helps out at Nintendos projects.
Perhaps that's correct, can't say. I just know they have two proper studios. I wouldn't be shocked if they have a third team that's purely there to assist Nintendo's other developers.
