Publisher Nintendo and developer Monolith Soft have released a new trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition called The Year is 2054.

Read details on the game below:

The year is 2054. Humans have fled Earth amid a destructive intergalactic war. As one of the survivors and a member of the New Los Angeles (NLA) colony, it’s your mission to help build a new home on the sprawling, hostile planet of Mira. Explore this seamless open world across five otherworldly continents teeming with unknown creatures – some of which are epic in scale – and fight for the future of humanity.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition features your character at the center of the action in a standalone sci-fi story. Customize your avatar’s looks and class to your liking and choose from a wide variety of options in a comprehensive battle system that’s as deep as you want it to be. Once you have proven yourself to the BLADE organization, you can also unlock a powerful Skell: Your giant, customizable mech that’s proficient in exploration and combat to assist you in your adventures across Mira.

While you go about the reconstruction effort, you’ll get to know the people of NLA, help them with their problems, and build affinity with your party members to unlock quests that contain rare gear and other rewards to earn. Plus, join an online squad* and take on multiplayer-specific missions, including extra-challenging Global Nemesis Battles! You can even recruit the avatars of other players to your team in the main story.

There is even more to discover in this definitive version of the game. Just who is the mysterious hooded figure on the beach? You’ll have to stay tuned to learn more…

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will launch for the Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025 for $59.99.

If you can play the postgame content without replaying the whole game, I'll bite.

I never beat it, felt so strange to make my own character and some of the music wasnt up to par for me.
But I will probably get it and beat it this time

I hope the post-game DLC is available on its own. I don't want to purchase the game a second time.
