What Is Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition?
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is, as its title states, the definitive version of Xenoblade Chronicles X, which was an RPG originally released on the Wii U. When Nintendo announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on X, they stated that this edition of the game features “enhanced visuals and brand-new story elements.” The story synopsis for the game reads:
“The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira—and now it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells!”
