xenoblade chronicles 3 japanese voice dual audio

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will include both English and Japanese voices together for its release, Nintendo and Monolith Soft have confirmed. That means dual audio is supported right out of the gate. Players won’t need to go through an extra download in order to access the Japanese voice cast.

With Xenoblade Chronicles 2, things were handled a bit differently. Nintendo distributed version 1.1 after launch and players then needed to download the free Japanese-Voice Pack DLC. They could then choose between English and Japanese voices in the settings.

Nintendo has decide to share yet another track from the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Today’s highlighted track is titled “You Will Know Our Names – Finale”.

Fans of the series might recognize this title that mirrors Xenoblade Chronicles 1’s very own “You Will Know Our Names” track, a song that plays when confronting dangerous enemies named Unique Monsters. It seems this track will fulfill a similar purpose, adding some tension and excitement to those more challenging battles.

xenoblade chronicles 3 direct discussion

This past week, Nintendo finally presented a “June Direct”. However, rather than being a general one like many had been hoping for, the broadcast was totally focused on Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The game is coming out in just a matter of weeks and we were given tons of information about the story, exploration, and combat.

With that in mind, I decided to invite one of our editors, Nicolas, to talk about everything that we saw during the event. We are both big fans of the franchise, and in this huge discussion, we shared our impressions of what was shown. You can check out the full discussion down below.

xenoblade chronicles 3 nintendo direct reactions

We didn’t get a general Nintendo Direct this week, but we did see a game-specific presentation for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Nintendo went over a lot that was previously known, but showed off some new stuff as well. There was also lots of gameplay to check out before next month’s launch. You can check out the full recap announcement here.

Funnily enough, one of the more noteworthy pieces of information shared is that the game is getting an Expansion Pass, just like the last entry in the series. Nintendo and Monolith Soft will be rolling out new content in four waves through the end of 2023 which will be capped off by a new story scenario. Oh, and amiibo will be supported, including the Shulk figure that grants players the look of the Monado when using the Swordfighter class.
