Xenoblade Chronicles 2
The Nintendo Switch is slowly gaining steam with a string of strong first party releases, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 can be added to that growing list. Nintendo started off their E3 2017 Spotlight with a surprise, confirming that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is still set for a Holiday 2017 release. This only bolsters the Switch’s lineup for the Fall, with the likes of Pokken Tournament, Super Mario Odyssey, and Fire Emblem Warriors.
The new trailer from E3 2017 shows a dramatic story that seems very reminiscent of the first Xenoblade Chronicles, and not the more recent Xenoblade Chronicles X. It seems the goal of the game will be to find somewhere known as “Elysium.” We also got an extensive look at gameplay from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 during Nintendo’s Treehouse stream, showing off a huge world with plenty of options.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is certainly a game to keep an eye out for, and could be another huge RPG to rival the likes of Breath of the Wild on Nintendo’s new system.
