It&#8217;s called <em>Xenoblade Genesis<\/em> and it was revealed at the latest Nintendo Direct livestream. We even got a juicy trailer with plenty of gameplay and a detailed look at the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Xenoblade Genesis \u2013 Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ttLdz0wGjmc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To that end, it looks like a brand new story in a brand new world. We don&#8217;t know too much about this story, other than that the protagonist is enrolled in some type of magic school (which reminds me of <em>Final Fantasy VIII<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nintendo promises more details on <em>Xenoblade Genesis<\/em> as we get closer to 2027. However, this wasn&#8217;t the only Xenoblade-adjacent announcement the company made. All three mainline Xenoblade Chronicles games are getting dedicated Switch 2 editions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Xenoblade Chronicles Nintendo Switch 2 Editions \u2013 Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vTaD8maruNs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The ridiculously-named <em>Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/em> is available for purchase right now and costs $64. This offers 4K resolution on TVs and full HD in handheld mode, along with new content like high-speed vehicles for traversal, additional voiceovers, updated equipment designs and a whole lot more. There&#8217;s an upgrade pack available for people who already own the Switch version of the game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Xenoblade Chronicles 2 \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/em> arrives on July 30 and <em>Xenoblade Chronicles 3 \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/em> is coming on December 3. <em>Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/em>, which is set in a different universe to the mainline games, already got a Switch 2 edition earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the uninitiated, Xenoblade games tend to be big, sprawling open-world action RPGs. The first one came out for the Wii all the way back in 2010.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2190537\/xenoblade-genesis-the-next-mainline-entry-in-the-action-rpg-franchise-launches-in-2027\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo is also releasing Switch 2 versions of the older Xenoblade games There&#8217;s a brand-new Xenoblade game coming to the Switch 2 in 2027.
