Nintendo and Kadokawa have announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Artworks -Aionios Moments- will receive a reprint, set to release on May 1. This comes after the art book sold out immediately on launch day yesterday. To celebrate launch day, Masatsugu Saito released new artwork of Noah and Mio holding the book!
The art book features 448 pages of new content, including never-before-seen concept art of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its expansion, Future Redeemed. Additionally, an extensive interview with key development members like Tetsuya Takahashi is included in the book. This interview discusses key questions players had, such as the origins of Lucky Seven, the role of the Trinity Processor, and much more.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was released for the Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022. The game takes place in Aionios, a land standing still in time. Both the worlds of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have mashed together, creating a world filled with war, chaos, and endless fighting. Protagonists Noah and Mio take to the scene and embark on a journey of life, loss, and understanding what it means to live. This is the first game in the series to feature playable combat for all party members at once with switching.
The expansion, titled Future Redeemed, arrived last April and brought back former series protagonists Shulk and Rex. Together, the two united with Matthew Vandham and A on a quest to stop Alpha and save Aionios from ruin.
