Xenoblade 3 Nopon Archsage Adam Howden

Here’s a bit of trivia that may blow your mind: Adam Howden, who played Shulk in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, is the voice of the Nopon Archsage in the new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC. It goes without saying, but this is specifically for the English version.

The Nopon Archsage was just added as part of the game’s Expansion Pass. He’s included in the new Challenge Battles where players take on consecutive enemies to earn accessories and special outfits.

The latest UK software sales for the week ending October 8, 2022 are as follows:
