Nintendo Reveals Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Post-Launch Plans
With Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s launch less than a month away, a new Nintendo Direct shed some light on what’s in store for the future.
The RPG will get a no-cost day-one patch that includes Japanese language support.
The Direct also mapped out long-term support for the game via DLC, all of which will be available through a season pass at $29.99, granting access to the following:
- A brand new original story debuting in fall of 2018
- Additional quests for the main game, trickling in beginning in January
- New Rare Blades to add to your party this spring
- Adventure support items to give you a leg up on your journey, starting in December.
The expansion pass is available to purchase today, and it's important to note that you cannot purchase the DLC individually. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launches on December 1 for Nintendo Switch.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
