Well, believe it or not - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is finally being released around the globe on the Nintendo Switch.
The reviews are already in, and so far, many are saying it's the highlight of Monolith Soft's RPG series. Here on Nintendo Life, we awarded it 10/10 in our own review - calling it an epic, and emotionally-charged masterpiece.
If you weren't already convinced that you absolutely need to play the latest Switch exclusive, Nintendo has now released some character introduction trailers focused on the protagonists, Noah and Mio.

Noah - An off-seer from Keves, Noah's fate is entwined with another whose aid will be instrumental in saving Aionios.
Mio - An off-seer from Agnus, Mio's fate is entwined with another whose aid will be instrumental in saving Aionios.
Nintendo has also released some custom icons for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 as part of Switch Online's Missions & Rewards:
In related news, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 yesterday received a day one update. There were some changes tied to the Expansion Pass and in-game menu accessibility, as well as the usual bug fixes. You can read about all of this in our previous post:

I'm so happy we finally got Switch icons for Xenoblade! I can't wait until Eunie is in the rotation.
I wish I could celebrate the launch, but Nintendo still hasn't even shipped my copy from the special edition pre-order, so it's going to be a while before I can actually play it unfortunately...
Just stick to those. Dont go any further on youtube and have the whole game spoiled like I did. (I was just searching for the games battle theme)
@ReaperMelia Mine too, still "processing"
Also the email is right but the receipt on the website shows "no product image" and no actual reference to the product, which is... A bit disturbing.
@whitemage From what I've heard, people who asked customer support were told Nintendo won't start shipping the game until tomorrow. You'd think they'd know anyone who loves the series enough to pre-order the special edition would want to be playing the game on release day, not a week later...
Now all we need next is Xenoblade Chronicles X. Now that should complete it...just like Final Fantasy series.
Can't wait til tomorrow!!
I'm going to pour even more hours into this game than I did with Sunbreak.
@ReaperMelia Oh thanks a bunch for the info! Yeah, I totally agree.. though considering the pre-order process to this point, my expectations were decidedly not high; I'll be relieved if they at least ship it tomorrow. At least for me, I'm frantically trying to play through Future Connected with my partner so my excitement can survive the extra wait.

Those trailers were great. They made me really feel the will to fight on. I hope this game has a happy ending, because it seems so serious.
