A New Hope on Mira
Set in the year 2054, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition plunges players into a desperate struggle for humanity’s survival. Following the destruction of Earth, a colony ship carrying human survivors crash-lands on the mysterious planet Mira. Players take on the role of a customizable protagonist and join BLADE, an organization dedicated to defending the survivors and uncovering the secrets of their new home.
The game features an action-packed battle system with a diverse range of special attacks, skills, and classes. Players can also pilot Skells, powerful mechs capable of flight, transformation into vehicles, and immense combat strength – provided they prove their worth to BLADE.
