Disney Classic Games Collection

New details have surfaced on Disney Classic Games Collection following a previous leak.

Previously, the ESRB rated the updated package last month. We knew that The Jungle Book was being added to the collection, but it turns out that’s not the only thing new here.

You don’t need to hear from us that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is almost certainly happening. The series has only increased in popularity over the past few years, and the first two games have done quite well on Switch. But if that wasn’t enough, a report came out last month that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is in its final stages of development and could launch as early as the first half of 2022.

We know almost nothing about the game aside from a few unconfirmed tidbits from last month’s rumor, so right now’s our chance to dream. What do you personally hope to see in Xenoblade Chronicles 3? Let us know in the comments below.
