Xenoblade Chronicles 3 gets new 8-minute trailer

Original (7/7): Nintendo and Monolith Soft just published a new 8-minute trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It highlights the RPG’s story, gameplay systems, and more. At the very end of the video, Nintendo provides a reminder that amiibo is supported, and the Shulk amiibo can be used to have the Swordfighter class change the weapon to the Monado from the first entry in the series.

Here’s an overview of Xenoblade Chronicles 3:

Bringing together the futures of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, this title will take players to the world of Aionios, home to two hostile nations.

Keves: a nation where mechanical technology was developed. Their armies are composed of units consisting mainly of combat vehicles. They use units of small, mobile weapons operated by soldiers riding them.

Agnus: a nation strong in ether, a magical technology. Their forces are built around units that specialise in ether combat, and they fight with small, mobile, autonomous weapons that use ether technology.

Six soldiers hailing from these nations, will take part in a grand tale with life as its central theme.
