In Japan, Nintendo sent out a special Xenoblade Chronicles 2 message. Director Tetsuya Takahashi wrote up a few words for those who are playing the RPG. It may not have anything earth-shattering, but Takahashi goes over how there’s more to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 other than just pursuing the main story, and mentions how he hopes that players will continue to be engaged with content from the Expansion Pass.

Nintendo has announced that version 1.3.0 of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will be available in mid-February. This patch will add a New Game+ function to the game. Details on that mode haven’t been announced yet, though it was previously hinted at that in New Game+ you will be able to get certain Blades that are used by the antagonists.

1.3.0 will also contain a bug fix for an issue that was introduced in version 1.2.0, wherein a Blade synchronized with a certain Driver will not be displayed on the Blade list in mid-chapter 7.

– “You’re done!”
