The first big game we got a look at during Nintendo's E3 Direct broadcast was Xenoblade Chronicles 2, with Monolith's platform-exclusive action-RPG shown off with plenty of gameplay. Check out the trailer below, which gives us some background ahead of an adventure that will see "a new hero seek out Elysium on an immense journey through a brand-new world." The game launches this winter, and it was also revealed that Tetsuya Nomura is acting as character designer.
