Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed characters, combat

Nintendo and Monolith Soft blew the lid off of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed DLC this week and revealed that it’s coming in just a few days. A bunch of information has since been posted on the official Japanese Twitter account. Details were shared about characters, combat, and other features in the DLC.

Most of the tweets have only been published in Japanese (aside from a few exceptions on Nintendo’s North American Twitter account), but English translations were posted to the unofficial XenobladeEN Twitter account. We’ve rounded up everything below.

Note that responses weren’t required for every question.

Lets Talk Indie World April 2023

The latest Indie World Showcase took place this week with all sorts of news and announcements for games on Switch. Over 20 titles saw some screen time.

There were some typical shadowdrops as well – specifically Teslagrad 2 and Teslagrad Remastered, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and Shadows Over Loathing. Lots of release date news went around as well, with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Mineko’s Night Market, and Oxenfree II nailing down their launch timing.
