Nintendo has confirmed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will support dual English and Japanese voice acting at launch.
This is the same as Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but unlike that game, players will not need to make a separate download for the second audio.
So people will be able to make their language choices right away for the game upon purchase. This will be useful for those who have limited internet, whether due to speed or data limits, as they will not have to wait to download the voice language of their preference.
In other news relating to Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo has also shown off a lengthy gameplay trailer of it. That have also been confirmed to be receiving an expansion pass for paid content after its launch.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Nintendo:
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
The latest entry in the long-running role-playing series, which connects the futures of the two previous mainline Xenoblade Chronicles games, invites players to embark on an epic adventure with “life” as its central theme.
In the game, players will step into the roles of protagonists Noah and Mio amid turmoil between the nations of Keves and Agnus. Six characters hailing from those nations join forces to learn the truth behind their conflict, and set their sights for Swordsmarch, a land pierced by a giant sword.
Features:
- Battle with up to seven characters: Like in previous Xenoblade Chronicles games, battles start by facing enemies directly in the overworld. Players can control Noah’s party of six, as well as additional characters they’ll meet during the adventure. Each character has their own role in battle, which allows for diverse strategies.
- Class change: Noah is a Swordfighter, specializing in close-range attacks, while Mio is a Zephyr, drawing enemy attention while evading their strikes. Thus, each character has their own class with their own strengths. Progressing in the adventure, players can change characters’ classes, creating a customized party.
- New Interlink system: Each of the tag-team pairs – Noah and Mio, Lanz and Sena, Eunie and Taion – can make use of the Interlink system if certain conditions are met. They will then combine into a giant form called Ouroboros. Each Ouroboros has its own powerful move set, and deciding when to transform can be the key to winning a battle.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is slated to release on July 29th for Nintendo Switch.
