Today, Nintendo offered 25 minutes of new footage from the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The title launches for Nintendo Switch on July 29 for $59.99. Pre-orders are now available! And even though we are still waiting for a complete Nintendo Direct, today’s event was pretty exciting. If you missed it, don’t worry, because we have the official summary of the event just for you!
ABOUT XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3
Aionios features breathtaking natural splendor that contrasts the grim conflict waged between the two nations. Traversing Aionios, the locations you visit are saved as landmarks that you can quickly select and travel to, making traversing this giant world more manageable. Exploring Aionios, you’ll get to scale cliffs, ascend sandy slopes, zipline across ropes, and sail the seas. While the stakes may be high, you can enjoy the world at your own pace and discover colonies where you’ll shop, dine, get to know residents, and take up quests.
When you’re ready to enter a fight, you can harness powerful abilities called Arts to strive for victory. Some Arts can throw opponents off-balance, some inflict more damage based on where you attack, and some even heal allies! In addition, you can link multiple Arts with stunning Chain Attacks to unleash havoc on your enemies. As you become more experienced in battle, you’ll be able to learn powerful Master Arts and Fusion Arts for even more devastating attacks.
Each character in your party has a Class that influences how they battle. The Swordfighter leads the fight as a well-balanced attacker, but there are many other classes that specialize in healing, defense, and mighty strikes, among other abilities. You can freely swap the character you’re controlling in battle, and your Class can also be changed to match that of your allies. Spend time learning multiple Classes for a well-rounded team!

Only one Hero at a time can assist on the battlefield, but you can swap them out as you see fit. And they bring their own special Classes to your team, like Guardian Commander, Incursor and War Medic. Your party members can even take on any of the Hero Classes as they become your allies. By recruiting more Heroes, you’ll grow the combination of Classes and Arts in your party, widening the breadth of your strategic options.
By joining together in battle through Interlinking, two characters in your party can fuse into a fiercely powerful form known as an Ouroboros. Earn points in the battle to make the already-mighty Ouroboros even stronger. Ouroboros can also join Chain Attacks with the rest of the party. Finally, clear out the battlefield by using mighty Ouroboros Arts!
