One way Xenoblade Chronicles X can connect to the numbered trilogy
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
It’s no secret that Xenoblade Chronicles X is much, much different than the numbered games. It’s also no secret that when Monolith Soft was making Xenoblade Chronicles X in 2015, they didn’t plan for it to connect to future games in the series. But things have changed, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s Future Redeemed DLC has us thinking that the studio may or may not try to connect Xenoblade Chronicles X to the numbered trilogy. We’re no lore experts, but today, we’re going over some possible ways that it could be retconned to connect to Xenoblade 1, 2, and 3. We do have to cover spoilers from those games in order to properly speculate, so you might want to come back later if you’re trying to avoid plot details. There are also spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles X itself here, so keep that in mind too.

Various reports are circulating that the ROM for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has leaked online. This comes about a week ahead of the game’s official launch.
The ROM for this game is leaking is especially notable. While it’s not a completely new title having originally released on Wii U about a decade ago, story does play a fairly integral role.

Given that, it’s especially important to avoid any spoilers that may pop up online if you plan on playing the game.
