Nintendo showed off a new batch of gameplay for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at this year’s Gamescom expo.
Featured above, the new 50 minute video shows off new content and areas within the game – this showcase is entirely combat and exploration, so there’s no need for a spoiler warning (Editor’s Note: The audio on this recording is off by a few seconds).
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Nintendo:
Search for the ultimate paradise, Elysium, with your companion, Pyra.
Explore an endless ocean of clouds, where the last remnants of civilization live on the backs of colossal beasts called Titans. Experience the story of Rex and his new friend, Pyra, a mysterious being known as a Blade who grants him tremendous power. Together, search for Pyra’s long lost home Elysium, the ultimate paradise for all of humanity.
Key Features:
- Explore colossal beasts called Titans, the homes of different civilizations, offering expansive regions to discover.
- Form powerful bonds with Blades, unique beings granting tremendous power to their users, called Drivers.
