Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is heading to Switch

From GamesBeat: "Nintendo announced Xenoblade Chronicles 3 during its Direct presentation today. It is coming out this September.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was an early Switch game, debuting on December 1, 2017. The Japanese RPG has been a hit, selling about 2 million copies."

I will definitely buy this game day 1!!!

[gamer7804]

The character designs don’t look quite as interesting this time around though

[DankSinatra]

Honestly, I like these designs way more than 2. It’s more reminiscent of the first game. 2 was just way too cliche anime feel to the point that characters were revealing just to be revealing.

[repsahj]

Maybe, but lets find out when it's released. Part 2 is my fave RPG on switch, and i think XC2 is much better than my recent RPG on PS5 which is Tales of Arise.

[H9]

I completely disagree, the character design in the second game was a disaster in my opinion, liking them so much better here

[jznrpg]

Hopefully better than 2 although a good game nowhere as good as 1 imo .

[Outlawzz]

Crap it's been 4 years since xc2 already lol

[NotoriousWhiz]

And I still need to finish xc2 lol.

[Ol_Boy]

Definitely the best announcement of the whole direct. Day 1 for me.

[IanTH]

Cool. Maybe make sure we can buy XBC2 physically at some point soon? I was planning to play it, but I don't want to buy digitally & I'm not paying the inflated prices it is going for now because...I guess Nintendo stopped making copies? It isn't in stock, new, anywhere at MSRP. Can't see playing 3 before 2, so hopefully they get on that soon.

[Ol_Boy]

Wow you're right. I had no idea.

[IanTH]

Yeah, it's really strange. And the standalone copies for Golden Country are absolutely mental. Don't care so strongly about that, guessing that is a thing that ended up a limited print that collectors are overvaluing. But they should certainly at least still have XBC2 available. The fact it is still MSRP of $60 is kinda crazy to me, but the fact I can't even get it for that is crazier.

I'm having the very same problem with Fire Emblem Three Houses

[IanTH]

Are you outside the US by chance? A quick glance showed me FE:3H was in stock for $49.99 new at GameStop & Target.

[monkey602]

Yeah I'm I'm Ireland bud. Its not available here anywhere for some reason and going for stupid money in the UK

[jznrpg]

I bought 2 physical copies on accident I have an unopened one in my collection somewhere .

[lucian229]

Sweet, another game that would look amazing if it wasn't held back by such dated tech .

[Outlawzz]

They've done wt they can with the tech. Using the engine from the xc1 remake , it looks much better than xc2 that's for sure.

[lucian229]

i mean it's nintendo's fault for one, making such dated tech from the ps3 era, two.....for staying with it for so long.

[Neonridr]

Looks pretty darned good to me, to each their own.

[Sirk7x]

Maybe Sony should have bought Monolith Soft and funded their games then, instead of Nintendo. And damn, who cares how many polygons it's pushing? Monolith does stellar work, and I know the game is going to have a great open world and art direction, cool battle system and crazy story.

[Teflon02]

Second game was meh. Don't care much for this, but nothing wrong with it existing. Hopefully a upgrade

[tagzskie]

Hahaha nice!! i love my switch because this kind of games, what a suprised and we dont need to wait too long either. I just wish they remaster the wii u xenoblade chronicle x.

[Outlawzz]

I was honestly hoping for xcx, this is a welcome surprise as well but I wanna fly around with some mechs lol

[repsahj]

Just make it with steady framerate and graphics and I'm very good to go! Steady 30fps (or wishful 60fps) and native 720p on handheld please!!
