A new update has just gone live for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. You can now access version 1.5.2.

The main highlights are the additions of Elma and Corvin, who were just revealed today. After defeating Elma in Challenge Mode’s Otherworldly Fighter, she can be used as a Blade. Corvin is in as a Rare Blade for Expansion Pass owners.

Below are the full patch notes:

Elma returning from Xenoblade Chronicles X wasn’t today’s only big news for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Also announced, Nintendo has given a first look at an entirely new Rare Blade. The name was a bit difficult to make out, but it sounds something like “Marvin”.

Nintendo says that this is a powerful Blade that can use the Smash status. It’ll be included as part of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass.

Update: We’ve clipped out Elma’s trailer below.


Original: Much in the way that Shulk and Fiora from the original Xenoblade Chronicles returned in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X will be returning in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Nintendo gave a first look in a new gameplay video today.

Nintendo hasn’t truly explained how Elma will be appearing. However, the trailer did show Rex and crew battling her as well as the character being used as a Blade.

Nintendo of Europe has prepared a brand new gameplay video for Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country. Check out the video below.

Diablo III Eternal Collection

Having Diablo III on Switch was something that Blizzard and Nintendo were both mutually interested in. The team at Blizzard wanted to make it happen after playing the system so much, and the Big N was apparently “pumped” to see it happen.

Blizzard associate producer Matthew Cederquist told Game Informer:

When The World Ends with You: Final Remix was announced for Switch, Square Enix teased new content including an additional scenario for the game. Famitsu provided a first look in this week’s issue, which has since been quickly added to the Japanese website. We’ve now translated all of the relevant details.

First up, we have an introduction to Coco. She was previously in The World Ends With You: Live Remix and The World Ends with You: Solo Remix, but seems to play more of a role this time around.

Do my eyes deceive me or has the Switch become the new perma-home for perma-death games? For me, there is no doubt that since the Switch launched, I have developed an obsession with playing my go to rogue-like for a few minutes before bed. Those few minutes quickly turn into hours if I’m not careful, which is why these games really should come with a ‘bed time’ warning. During my insomnia I made the decision to write a list of some of my favorite rogue-like games to sneak their way onto the Switch. I’d love for you all to join the conversation and tell us about your favorite rogue-like games in the comments!
