Get to know humanity's new home in new Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Overview Trailer

Today, Nintendo released an Overview Trailer for the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. This remaster of the Wii U classic includes new conveniences like a reworked Follow Ball, additional character creation options, an epilogue chapter, and much more. New players should be warned that this trailer does show certain cutscenes from the end of the game.

Originally released in 2015 as Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U system, this updated version of the game includes enhanced visuals and more, such as:

Exploration: Mira is a sprawling world with five massive continents, each with its own distinct biomes, weather and diverse array of organisms. You can move seamlessly between these continents, travelling to any location or point of interest you like. Of course, the journey won’t be without its dangers, so prepare accordingly.

New Los Angeles: Your new home and one of the last bastions of humanity. New Los Angeles (NLA) is the center of human activity on Mira. In this large city, the survivors of the wrecked USS White Whale live their lives. NLA is divided into districts – including commercial, industrial, BLADE and residential – where you can take in the sights, interact with allies and residents, purchase new weapons and gear, and much more.

Battle System: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition features a fast-paced, action-packed battle system. While in combat, you can freely move around to gain a tactical advantage and employ a variety of customizable special attacks and skills called Arts. These Arts will vary based on the Class of each character. Fight, gain experience and take down enemies of all shapes and sizes – you may even cross paths with some particularly nasty (and enormous!) foes.

Missions: Early on, you’ll join the Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth (BLADE) organization to assist the residents of NLA and Earth’s survivors. Throughout the game, you’ll help with various requests given to you by characters you encounter as well as by BLADE itself. These missions will further the story, strengthen your affinity with your party members, confer various rewards and more.

Skells: Skells are powerful armored vehicles developed by humanity that can fly, transform into a vehicle and wield immense strength in battle. Once you prove yourself to the BLADE organization, you’ll unlock the ability to pilot your own Skell. There are multiple Skells that can be obtained, each with different characteristics and customizable to suit your combat style.

Online Features: Join a squad of up to 31 other players online and work together to complete tasks such as collecting a certain number of items or felling specific enemies. Up to four squad members can also team up online and face off against powerful foes. You can even recruit the avatars of other players to your team in the main story.

Uncover More Story Content: New adventures await on Mira, featuring a new location to explore, new characters to encounter and newly added story content to experience that’s exclusive to Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. The fight isn’t over yet – humanity still needs you!

It appears that some of the music has also been redone for this remaster, including adding lyrics to the song ThemeX. Monolith Soft has confirmed that entirely new music from original composer Hiroyuki Sawano and Misaki Mase.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launches from Earth on March 20th. Players who purchase the game on the eShop, My Nintendo, or GameStop store prior to April 6th will receive an Exploration Support Package DLC, which includes helpful in-game items. To utilize the game's online features, players will also need to subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online.
