This morning, Nintendo officially announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch. At long last, all four Xenoblade games will be playable on the Nintendo Switch console. The release will feature visual enhancements alongside “newly added story elements and more.” Lao is seen at the very end of the trailer with a mysterious figure on the beach, which fans of the Wii U release will immediately begin to speculate about.

The game has a soundtrack composed by legendary composer Hiroyuki Sawano, known for his work on Attack on Titan, Kill la Kill, and more, which gives it a unique atmosphere as you explore the massive map.
