When is the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition release date?
The Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition release date is March 20, 2025. This new version of the Monolith Soft RPG features enhanced visuals and added story elements. Check it out in action in the trailer below.
“The year is 2054. Humans have fled Earth amid a destructive intergalactic war,” reads a description of the game. “As one of the survivors and a member of the New Los Angeles (NLA) colony, it’s your mission to help build a new home on the sprawling, hostile planet of Mira. Explore this seamless open world across five otherworldly continents teeming with unknown creatures — some of which are epic in scale — and fight for the future of humanity.”
“Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition features your character at the center of the action in a standalone sci-fi story,” the description continues. “Customize your avatar’s looks and class to your liking and choose from a wide variety of options in a comprehensive battle system that’s as deep as you want it to be.”
The enhanced Monolith Soft RPG is available to preorder right now on Nintendo’s digital storefront. Players can use Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers to redeem the game. Otherwise, it’ll cost $59.99.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is one of many Wii U games that are available for the Nintendo Switch. Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, and much more have been ported to the hybrid portable console. Super Mario World 3D is one of the console’s newest ports, which also includes the Bowser’s Fury story mode. Star Fox Zero is now one of the only first-party Wii U games that has yet to make the jump to the Nintendo Switch.
