Nintendo has decide to share yet another music track for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ahead of its release next week. This week’s shared track is “Chain Attack”, a new track that you’ll hear whenever a Chain Attack is triggered in-game.

While this new Chain Attack theme does replace the current battle theme for the duration of the Chain Attack, the ordinary battle theme will return once the Chain Attack concludes. This way, the battle theme won’t be completely interrupted the same way it might have been when a Vision occurred in Xenoblade Chronicles 1, for those familiar with that game’s battle system.

You can listen to the song clip below:

Nintendo has just confirmed that the trio of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak amiibo will now be releasing on August 12 in Australia and New Zealand. While these figures have already released in several territories worldwide, they had been delayed to a September release in Australia and New Zealand, before now being pushed back up to an August release.

The three amiibo are Malzeno, “Canine Malzeno” Palamute and “Felyne Malzeno” Palico figures, each unlocking an exclusive set of cosmetic layered armor for your Hunter, Palamute and Palico respectively. For those interested, pre-orders of the three amiibo are live now, available either through EB Games or the My Nintendo Store here.
