Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 released a little over a month ago to near-universal acclaim. A part of the game that received a significant amount of praise was the characters and how well they were portrayed by their respective voice actors.

This praise from fans has not gone unnoticed, with several of the game’s voice actors having thanked the community for the compliments. Among these is Harry McEntire, the voice actor for main protagonist Noah, who has recently returned to Twitter to thank fans for their “outpouring of love” as a result of his performance.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 review

System: Switch
Release Date: July 29, 2022
Developer: Monolith Soft
Publisher: Nintendo


With five years between the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, we’ve had plenty of time to devote ourselves to the world of Alrest and pick apart the differences and similarities between it and the world of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. With the Definitive Edition hitting Switch a mere couple of years ago, we’ve had the series fairly fresh on our minds while waiting for the next release. With side content like Torna: The Golden Country from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the Future Connected content from Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, there has been a lot to take in before getting to 3 – and that’s not counting those of us who also spent time with the stranded-on-Wii U entry of Xenoblade Chronicles X (a completely unrelated story, but with similar gameplay and an unconnected world.)

In an email sent to customers in Japan, Nintendo shared a message from Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, the senior director of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

We’ve translated the full note below, which includes another tease about plans for the future. There’s just a slight story spoiler about the overall series, so keep that in mind before proceeding.

Based on the latest data from GfK, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has seen the series’ biggest launch in the UK thus far.

The game has taken the place of the last record holder, Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition follows in third.

xenoblade chronicles 3 is here

After a not so long wait since its announcement, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has arrived. Personally speaking, this is a very special game to me as it’s the third entry in what is probably my favorite franchise from Nintendo.

It’s a bit unusual for me to publish those “first impressions” videos, but I really felt like there’s a lot to talk about the initial hours of this game. So in the video below, you’ll find a huge Xenoblade fan talking about how good Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has been so far. Feel free to share your own experience with the game as well.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 impressions

After the Live A Live remake made it to Switch last week, the console just received another RPG in the form of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Although it’s only been about a day since its official release, it’s likely that many of you have started up the game already.

If you’ve had a chance to try out Xenoblade Chronicles 3, how are you feeling about it so far? If you’ve played other games in the series, how do you feel this new entry compares based on what you’ve experienced? Let us know in the comments below.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has finally released worldwide on Switch, and a launch trailer has been shared to celebrate the game’s release, giving players another look at the game’s cast of characters and gameplay.

More information on the game and the trailer can be seen below:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Noah

Ahead of Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s imminent launch, Nintendo has put out a character trailer focusing on Noah.

As previously detailed, he’s an off-seer from Keves. Nintendo notes that “Noah’s fate is entwined with another whose aid will be instrumental in saving Aionios.”

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 future

We already heard from Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the “culmination” of the series and “summary for moving on to the next step”. However, on Nintendo’s side, producer and director Genki Yokota has stated that he wants to keep the series “going as long as possible”.

That comment came about in the final section of Nintendo’s official interview regarding Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Speaking about the future, Takahashi and Yokota said:
