Update 2: Pre-orders are live on Amazon!

Update: Added in a better image. Official announcement is after the break. The package will cost $89.99.

During a panel at PAX Prime 2015, Nintendo revealed the North American special edition for Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Consumers will receive a few items with their purchase. Nintendo is including a copy of the game, an art book (over 100 pages), a digital copy of the soundtrack on a custom USB drive (10 songs), and matted art card.

Nintendo apparently said at the panel that pre-orders will be going live at some point today. When they do, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Update: Officially confirmed.

We previously heard that Nintendo will be hosting a panel for Xenoblade Chronicles X at PAX Prime 2015 tomorrow. A reminder was sent out on the company’s Twitter account today, and it seems to reveal an interesting piece of information.

The tweet states that 8-4’s Mark MacDonald will be hosting the Xenoblade Chronicles X panel. That’s important for one big reason. Based on the message, it suggests that 8-4 is involved with the RPG’s localization.

8-4 has worked on a ton of games in the past. On the Nintendo side of things, they helped bring over Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Fossil Fighters: Frontier.
