Posted on 6 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Original (11/30): Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is now five years old (at least if you’re in territories like Europe and Japan), and developer Monolith Soft is celebrating with two special wallpapers.
The designs are largely the same with Pyra and Mythra being hoisted into the air. Other main characters are here as well – specifically Rex, Nia, Tora, Zeke, Morag, and Vandham plus their Blades. The wallpaper you go with really depends on which device you intend to use it on. Monolith Soft’s images have been optimized for either mobile / tablets or PC.

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 third wave of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass, comprised of more Challenge Battles, a new Hero, and outfits will be live by April 2023. A new story scenario for the game will follow by the end of 2023 and concludes all DLC.

Nintendo and Monolith Soft have introduced the Nopon Archsage, who will be featured in Wave 2 of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass and ties into Challenge Battles.
Challenge Battles are accessible by walking up to a portal located in Llyn Nyddwr. This can be found in the Fornis Region, specifically Ribbi Flats. After entering the portal, you’ll end up in the Land of Challenges. The Nopon Archsage is here and there’s more to him than meets the eye. He’s voiced by Akio Ootsuka in the Japanese version – that’s actually the same person who voiced Consul Z.

Ino is less than a week away from joining Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and we now have a few details about the character thanks to a post shared on social media today.
Ino was seemingly created by the Great Nopon – the tweet does not specify who this is. Interestingly, she introduces herself as an “Artificial Blade”, though Noah and his friends remain suspicious of her. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fans may point to Tora as the one behind Ino, though that isn’t confirmed at this time.
