Hiroyuki Sawano is back on board to create new music for Xenoblade Chronicle X: Definitive Edition. That news was confirmed on social media, and more specifically, the series’ official X account.

Sawano was the primary composer on the original game for Wii U. For the Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, Monolith Soft is including a new story, and that’s where the new music from Sawano comes in. Snippets can be heard in some of the recent trailers.

Sawano has had a legendary career having worked on a ton of anime, movies, and more. Attack on Titan, The Seven Deadly Sins, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, and Kill la Kill are just some of the series he’s contributed to.

Misaki Umase also appears to have joined Sawano with music for Xenoblade Chronicle X: Definitive Edition. Umase has been involved with various anime as well such as Pretty Cure.

Xenoblade Chronicle X: Definitive Edition will be out on Nintendo Switch everywhere on March 20, 2025. A new trailer just dropped today, which we shared here.
