The game will be available at the start in standard and limited editions. Buyers of the latter will receive a stilbook and a 250-page artbook with illustrations from the artist Masatsugu Saito. In the United States, Europe and Japan, this edition will only be sold in My Nintendo Store.

Recall that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will talk about the conflict that broke out between the two belligerent countries — Keeves and Agnus. The first focuses on mechanical technology and uses fighting vehicles, while the second has access to magic ether.

The main characters of Noah and Mio will be at the heart of the conflict. The developers promise a great story, the main theme of which will be "life".

The world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, called Aionios, must "unusually unite the future of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2".

In the second trailer, for the first time, the footage of battles was shown, and the developers commented on them on the official website of the game.

It was confirmed that up to seven characters could participate in the battles.

"Use the strengths of all six characters from your team and consider their position vis-à-vis the opponent. Characters you make friends with on adventures can also join your ranks, expanding your strategic options. ”

One of the most noticeable features of the battle system of the new game will be the ability to turn pairs heroes in fur-like giants of Ouroboros, possessing a set of devastating attacks. This system is called Interlink.

"In certain situations during a fight, a pair of characters — Noah and Mio, Lanz and Sena, Juni and Taion — can turn into giants, who were nicknamed Ouroboros. Each Ouroboros has a set of crushing attacks and can decide the outcome of the battle in your favor. "

The developers also said that as they pass, players will be able to change the classes of their characters.
