Rebuild humanity on the mysterious planet Mira in this action RPG. The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira—and now it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells! The visually enhanced edition of this open-world RPG contains newly added story elements and more. The Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition game is coming to the Nintendo Switch system on March 20, 2025!
