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!

Take on tough foes in a robust combat system, and pilot powerful giant robots called Skells

Choose from a huge variety of special attacks, skills, and classes in a combat system that’s as deep as you want it to be. Once you’ve proven yourself to BLADE, you’ll earn the right to pilot and personalize your very own Skell—a powerful machine that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat with customizable weapons and armor.

Gather resources and take on missions to build the community of New Los Angeles

As you go about the reconstruction effort, getting to know the people of New Los Angeles (NLA), you’ll build affinity with your party members and unlock quests for gear and other rewards. Join your choice of military organization within BLADE to take on even more missions—or even team up with up to 32 players from near and far online* in Squad Tasks, Online Missions, and extra-challenging Global Nemesis Battles!

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is an expertly crafted revamp that gives us all the bells and whistles we could wish for in terms of graphical upgrades. However, it's actually Monolith Soft's attention to clever gameplay revisions that impresses most here. This is X streamlined and modernised, carefully recast and reset in order to play better than ever. Additional characters, a new ending, and all that snazzy stuff is all well and good, and fans will be excited by the fresh revelations that occur, but it's in how everything flows so much better now that we reckon the hardcore will find themselves most impressed. And for newcomers a recommendation is even easier; this is up there with the all-time great sci-fi RPGs and an absolute must-play.

The Wii U original was already a perfect exploration adventure, Definitive Edition tweaks some stuff under the hood and straightens out bits and pieces that were pain points in the original. Overdrive is still riotous fun, Skells are still ultimate swords of violence, and the Quick Cooldown system might make the game slightly easier but expands the power fantasy without being totally overpowered. Switch owners owe it to themselves to pick this up.
