Rumours about a new Xenoblade Chronicles release have started to circulate online today after a possible "leak" on the casting platform Spotlight.

The page of voice actor Caitlin Thorburn (who voiced multiple roles in the second game) has reportedly been updated to reference a "Xenoblade Chronicles" project due out in 2026. She's apparently reprising her role as KOS-MOS, who previously appeared in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the Xenosaga series.

So that's what's supposedly been uncovered. As for the legitimacy of this, it is just a rumour for now, but apparently the profile can only be updated and edited by the person who is the subject of the page. Of course, it doesn't necessarily guarantee anything and could also be a mistake.

If this is a sign of a new Xenoblade game (or a returning one in some way or form), this wouldn't actually be the first time something like this has happened. Xenoblade fans have been quick to point out how a similar situation happened ahead of the reveal of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, when the Melia voice actor Jenna Coleman spoke about "another game" before an official announcement.

If we hear any updates, we'll let you know. Just keep in mind Nintendo or Monolith Soft haven't announced any new or returning Xenoblade Chronicles projects at this stage.

Do you think we'll see a Xenoblade Chronicles game, announcement, or maybe even an update in 2026? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
