Nintendo pulled the curtain back onXenoblade Chronicles 2during the 2017 Nintendo Switch presentation at the start of the year. The announcement came witha short reveal trailerthat previewed some of the characters, and locations players would be able to explore. The trailer also included snippets of dialogue that hinted at the game’s story. The reveal came as a surprise, but a welcome one, considering the popularity of the original game.
The firstXenoblade Chronicleswas a well-liked title for the Nintendo Wii that garnered a decent following. When it was released back in 2012, the reviews for the game were very positive. Even though its fanbase isn’t as large as other acclaimed role-playing titles likeFinal Fantasy 7, the game is still often hailed as one of the best in the genre. We at Game Rant even honored it as one of the10 greatest JRPGsever.
It’s unclear howXenoblade Chronicles 2will measure up to the original, but anxious fans will get their answers shortly. Those looking forward to the title can preorder any of the available editions today. The really gung ho who are planning on ordering the special edition should do it soon, as those have a tendency to sell out.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2releases exclusively for Nintendo Switch on July 08, 2025.
