Nintendo Revives 'Xenoblade Chronicles X' with Definitive Edition for Switch

The updated release adds new story content, gameplay refinements, and marks a symbolic conclusion to the Nintendo Switch’s historic lifecycle.

'Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition' launches on March 20, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch, addressing issues from the original 2015 Wii U release.
The updated version includes 20-30 hours of new story content, resolving the incomplete narrative of the original game.
The game features a massive open world, with a map at least four times larger than 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild,' and complex systems like customizable Skells for combat and exploration.
While praised for its expansive gameplay and progression systems, minor criticisms remain over production values and music looping.
This release symbolizes the end of the Nintendo Switch’s lifecycle, reflecting its evolution from a console inspired by overlooked Wii U titles to one of Nintendo’s most successful platforms.
