Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 Possibly Leaked

by

The acclaimed game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is widely acknowledged as a standout in the series and has been credited with rekindling enthusiasm towards the franchise. Notably, Monolift Soft has followed it up with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and an updated version of Xenoblade Chronicles X, yet Xenoblade Chronicles 2 continues to be one of the most sought-after. Recently, rumors have heightened anticipation among fans, suggesting that this popular title might receive an enhancement on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. However, whether it will be a full remaster or just an upgrade for the Switch 2 is yet to be determined.

Lately, Monolith Soft shared a clip from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the platform previously known as Twitter, highlighting an updated scene with superior lighting and intricate backdrops. This stirred excitement among fans who are now guessing that there may be a new iteration of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in development by Monolith Soft and Nintendo. However, there’s been much discussion about the potential implications of this update.

It seems highly probable that there will be an upgrade for the Nintendo Switch 2, potentially offering improved graphics, additional features, and perhaps enhancements such as a smoother frame rate and quality of life improvements. Fervent fans are anticipating these upgrades, along with the possibility of refining the gacha system in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

As a dedicated gamer, if Nintendo and Monolith Soft were to unveil a Definitive Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, it’d be a dream come true! This means we could expect a massive overhaul, with enhancements all around, just like the Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Plus, who knows what bonus content they might throw in that wasn’t part of the original release? But remember, since it’s probably going to be a whole new game for Switch 2 (or whatever they call it next), it might cost a bit more than just an upgrade. Keep those fingers crossed!

Independent of its meaning, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is primarily unavailable for new purchases as it’s out of print. Currently, the only option to acquire the game physically is through second-hand sources. However, it can still be purchased digitally. A possible remaster could lead to a fresh physical version being released. Similarly, there’s speculation that Nintendo might launch a physical edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside any potential upgrades or improvements.

Monolift Soft might be working on an updated version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, or they could be hinting at a different game entirely. Although the video seems to suggest Xenoblade Chronicles 2, it could have simply been a randomly chosen scene. As the holidays are approaching and there are whispers of a new Nintendo Direct around the corner, we may not have to wait much longer for fans to receive clarification.
