Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition comes to Switch in May

Nintendo hasn’t announced a lot of first-party releases for 2020, but one game that we’ve known is coming for a while is Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Now, that open-world action-RPG has a release date. Nintendo and developer Monolith Soft are launching the updated Wii game on May 29.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a sci-fi/fantasy role-playing game. It tells the story of Shulk, which many Nintendo fans will know from Super Smash Bros. The game features action-heavy battles and a massive open world. Director Tetsuya Takahashi specifically designed the game and its environments to overwhelm the player with scale.
