Still due on April 25
In case you missed it (and it was easy to miss!),Nintendo shadow-dropped a trailer and release datefor theXenoblade Chronicles 3story DLC. Truth be told I expected this thing to arrive in Q3 or Q4 of this year, but, uh, it’s out on April 25!
Following the core reveal,the Nintendo of America YouTube channelalso gave us a new song from the DLC, and it’s a banger. The track is called “New Battle!!!” (verify you get those three exclamation marks in there), and I can’t wait to listen to it over and over in-game. Suddenly, the massive string of emotional JRPGs I played from the ’90s through the early aughts came rushing back to me. I love how muchXenoblade Chroniclesjustdoes thaton a regular basis, dating back to the release of the original on the Wii.
With each and every release theXenobladename continues to beout there, and I hope that when the next inevitable entry drops, it’s an even bigger success. Also, timing! This DLC got in right beforeZelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is going to be dominating the collecting gaming conversation come mid-May. Until then we haveXenoblade Chronicles 3andStar Wars Jedi: Survivorto talk about.
