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.
