Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition scores a new trailer

Nintendo have released a new trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, showing off the world and hinting at the story players will discover. Of course, none of this is new for those who played the game first on the Wii U, but either way it is worth checking out.

For those who have never played the game before, it stars off in the year 2054. Earth has been devastated by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. A handful of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira. Now, as a member of the New Los Angeles colony’s BLADE organization, it is your mission to help humanity recover from the edge of annihilation.

Mira is a sprawling alien world with vast oceans, expansive grassy plains, towering mountain ranges, exotic jungles, and more – each with its own secrets to uncover and threats to face. Move seamlessly across the planet's surface, explore massive areas, observe their ecosystems come to life, and encounter a variety of unfamiliar, gargantuan beasts that can be battled to gain valuable resources. Once you have proven yourself to BLADE, you can unlock your own Skell: a powerful exoskeleton that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat.

In addition to the new trailer, Nintendo also revealed that players who purchase the digital version of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store before April 6 will receive the in-game Exploration Support Pack. For those who get the game on cart, a code in the box will offer the same. Here is what is included:
