Xenoblade Chronicles 2 trailer reveals December launch

And we feared it wouldn't launch this year...
Eirik Hyldbakk Furu Editor-in-Chief Norway 14 September 2017

It's no secret that some of us here at the office have doubted Nintendo and Monolith's claims that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would actually be released this year, but they definitely seem confident enough to give us a 2017 release date.

The new trailer reveals that Rex and his titan are set to fight their way onto the Nintendo Switch on December 1, while also giving us some more gameplay and story details. Some of the gameplay details include how the Drivers and Blades classes are very dependent on each other, that our titan can change size to better suit the situation, and that many of the environments are actually parts of the giant titans' bodies.

What improvements do you hope to see in this sequel?
