Monolith Soft’s X is Confirmed as a Xenoblade Chronicles Sequel

Last year Nintendo showed off a trailer for a game simply known as X.  We all kind of figured it was tied into the massively successful Xenoblade Chronicles, but nothing was official stated.

Featured above, you can get a glimpse at how the game has progressed since we last saw it, and we’ve finally gotten a real name for the game – Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Check out some of the game’s official features:


X Marks the Spot

The next massive sci-fi role-playing game from Monolith Soft, the creators of Baten Kaitosand Xenoblade Chronicles, comes exclusively to Wii U. Aterrible intergalactic war leaves just a handful of Earth survivors trying to live in a beautiful yet hostile environment.

Players engage in battles against powerful creatures of all forms and sizes using the deep battle system that builds on the triumphs of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii.

Features

Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.

As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a “recast” time – once cast, the player must wait out a “cooldown” period before that Art can be used again.

Players can customize everything about the main character’s appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin color, voice and tattoos

Xenoblade Chronicles X is heading to Wii U sometime next year.
