Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is Nintendo's brand new entry into the sprawling action RPG series and it's launching exclusively on Nintendo Switch on Friday, July 29.
The epic sequel takes place in Aionios, a huge world of natural splendour caught up in an endless conflict between two opposing nations. The two main protagonists Noah and Mio are part of rival factions, but have to band together with their friends to tackle a greater threat than the ceaseless war.
Players will experience stunning vistas, diverse wildlife and dreamlike landmarks while battling ferocious beasts and exploring the world's beautiful landscapes and mountains on foot, by gliding or even sailing across lakes.
Nintendo have really made the world feel alive in Xenoblade 3, with a huge number of locations to discover, including military colonies that you can clear out, where players can rest, cook food, shop and track all the new characters you meet with the Affinity Chart – a map that shows you how strong relationships are across the game.
You can have six characters in your core party at any given time in Xenoblade 3, with each member having a different abilities and classes like Attackers, Defenders and Healers. Specific members can also tag-team and use Interlinking to combine into an Ouroboros, a larger form with powerful moves.
