Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed Arriving Next Week, Fanbase Shocked by Expansion's Early Release

The final DLC in the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass launches for the Nintendo Switch system on April 25. The trailer gives viewers a glimpse into the scenario of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass Vol. 4 - Future Redeemed. Set before the events of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 game, players join a cast of new and familiar characters in an original story scenario that connects all three installments in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Future Redeemed also features new battle mechanics, such as Unity Combo, where two characters can attack in unison.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Aionios is the backdrop to an endless conflict between two opposing nations: Keves and Agnus. Through a chance encounter, a group of six soldiers hailing from both rival nations resolve to put aside their differences and work together to expose a new threat - far greater than that of their ceaseless battle. Players can join Noah, Mio and their friends as they traverse epic landscapes, battle ferocious creatures and fight to break the never-ending cycle of violence that binds their homelands.
Seize the future you desire in Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, coming 4/25!
This original story scenario is available exclusively via Wave 4 of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Expansion Pass.


Like in previous Xenoblade Chronicles games, battles start by facing enemies directly in the field. Players can control Noah's party of six and meet additional characters during the adventure who can join the party as support characters. Each fighter has their own role in battle, which allows for diverse strategies. Their class influences how characters battle, and they can harness powerful abilities, called Arts, to strive for victory. Each of the specific tag-team pairs in the party can also make use of the Interlink system and combine into a giant form called Ouroboros.

By combing through a couple of web discussions, it seems that the community (by and large) expected this new XBC3 campaign to come out after the next Zelda - in the summer or early autumn. The base game did get an earlier than expected launch last year - July instead of September.

For whatever odd reason, Nintendo is cramming in a lot of releases before the big presentation/preview season in June. They're either clearing the Switch's deck in anticipation of a potential successor console reveal, or they're on a PR blitz to prevent too much attention resting on all of their recent legal actions against hackers, modders and insiders.
