The original Xenoblade Chronicles came out for the Nintendo Wii, and was then ported to the 3DS. This Definitive Edition looks to be a remastered version, and details on what this new release will include are scant. Nintendo stated that the sci-fi fantasy RPG is ‘destined to be reborn on Switch’, and so we’ll sit tight until official updates are headed our way.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition will be released on Switch in 2020. Watch the announcement trailer below.
