Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Update: Full patch notes added in below.


Original: Following a delay, Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s big update is here. Players can now access version 1.3.0.

As mentioned previously, this is a massive update that adds New Game Plus, an Easy Mode, and more. We’ll add in the full patch notes here as soon as we have them. For now, we’ve added in an overview of the update from director Tetsuya Takahashi below.

Arowana Mall will be missing in Splatoon 2 over the next couple of weeks as Nintendo addresses a notable bug. When players use a Dualie here or use the Splashdown, the game acts as if they’ve fallen out of bounds of the terrain.

Nintendo intends to address this with the next update, which is scheduled for March 16. Arowana Mall will not appear in any modes until then. For now, if you want to access the stage, you can only do so in private matches.
