Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch 

It's hard to believe that Xenoblade went from Nintendo being hesitant to even bring the game to the west, to being the end reveal of a direct

I have rewatched this trailer multiple times and thoroughly analyzed every frame and every line of dialogue. After extensive studying, I have finally come to the conclusion that this is going to be a video game.

90% of all of the lines were all completely out of context which is good for a trailer that doesn't want to spoil the game

It’s amazing how many lines in this trailer are completely divorced from their actual content in the game. They made a damn good trailer here.

The final shot with the Mechonis remains and Urayan remains give some chills. The respective box art titans for each games being shown just shows that this game is an actual honest to God sequel continuing the stories of 1 and 2

Me watching this in 2022: Damn this game is pretty cool Me watching this in 2023: I can’t believe this is my favorite game of all time

What an experience this game was...

Still coming back even after release for the feels. The trailer was masterfully executed to set up the vibes and the game doesn't disappoint.

So, anyone else most excited for another masterpiece of a soundtrack?

The fact that there's so much of both Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 you can see in the backgrounds from the Blades to the Mechon, the Mechonis Sword and the Titan head, and even the little things like how the weapons are made gives me so much hope that we're gonna get a merging of both Xeno 1 and Xeno 2's stories and worlds in a really interesting way. I am SO excited to see what MonolithSoft does with this

Monolith Soft deserves more credit. The worlds they make in games and the stories they make are absolutely stunning! I fell in love with the xenoblade series and I absolutely cannot wait for Xenoblade 3. I'm ready to cry again lol

"it's time for your daily Xenoblade 3 trailer watching" yes honey...

I’m a simple man. I wake up, watch the Xenoblade 3 trailer 10 times and then start my day

Non fans: oh, neat Fans that finished 1 and 2 seeing high entia and blades in the same world: *having a heart attack*

Insane how this game got announced just over a year ago and released only a few months later. I remember seeing this trailer for the first time and being in tears. What a beautiful game.

Game is no longer September 2022. Its been moved to July 29, 2022. ...Enjoy.

This game looks pretty promising! The style seems to be a nice mix of Xenoblade 1’s and 2’s styles, a lot of the characters and settings suspiciously resemble ones we’ve seen before, and I can also spot a core crystal on the Nia look-alike. Very interesting indeed. Makes me can’t wait for September!

It'll be interesting to see how it ties the two games together.

Xenoblade fans are probably the most grateful fans of a nintendo franchise that isn't mario or zelda. You guys are having it all, although there was a rocky start with the first game coming outside of japan, you got the 1st game being on the switch, got a new game on the Wii U, got a proper sequel on the switch even if the last one didn't do as well, Dlc for some of these games, Shulk, Pyra and Mythra are in smash and now this! With all of this content being shoved up in the fans' throats in a short amount of time, it's very fascinating how appreciative and delighted they are when they do get something. There are so many franchises on nintendo that either give too little for the fans (F-zero, Donkey kong, Mother, Star Fox, etc) or too much (Mario, Zelda, pokemon, Fire Emblem, etc. Although they do deserve it), but xenoblade fans get the right amount and I'm happy that they're happy. Not a fan myself but hey I do have my fix with Mario Strikers and Kirby so I ain't complaining.

Its a Wild ride this 1 million views!

I AM SO EXCITED

This is seriously the happiest I've been in months, I can't wait until September. I love this world because Xenoblade is in it.

Watching this again a few minutes before my job interview just to remind myself that there are things to look forward to even if I don't get the job 😅

Once the flame clock is filled, it becomes Reyn time

Absolute perfection. I have ASCENDED. The wait for the next Xenoblade has totally been worth it. I love how the worlds of XB1 and XB2 are merging!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 alone made the direct worthwhile. It had some other good stuff, but this was the home run.

Is this the culmination of years of development?

I just finished XBDE and XBC2 … cant wait for XBC3

I have no words. Xenoblade 1, 2 and X are all absolutely amazing in their own way, but this looks special. Seeing the rusted Mechonis' Sword next to the corpse of Titan Uraya is just surreal. It finally feels like the series has come full circle.

Cannot even begin to describe how excited I am for this game, Monolith Soft yet again knocking it out of the park. LET’S GO!

Nothing's more exciting than to see Tetsuya Takahashi's vision come to fruition with the Xenoblade franchise. In fact, if the suggestions that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will serve as the "Episode VI" of Takahashi's "Perfect Works", then he will have finally fulfilled the complete story he's always wanted to tell since Xenogears.

Xenoblade is such an important franchise to me and I am so stoked for Xenoblade 3

I'M SO HAPPY AND READY!!!

Im actually so excited for this. Never did I think I would cry at a game announcement, but here we are. Xenoblade 1 and 2 are my 2 favorite games of all time, and this looks incredible

YAY 1 MILLION :D Cannot wait for July 29th ^,^

I'm rewatching this trailer and am seriously tearing up the final shot of Uraya and the Mechonis' Sword. I think this is going to be a good game.

I was literally hoping for a Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster for the switch when he said this is the final reveal, but I'm definitely not disappointed in this announcement

Xenoblade 1: You Will Know Our Names Xenoblade 2: You Will Recall Our Names Xenoblade 3: You Will Guess Our Names

We seriously do not deserve MonolithSoft. On top of their own IP Xenoblade that they consistently keep up to date with, they also helped on Breath of the Wild 1 and 2, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing New Horizons. It's a true testament to how talented that team is, and I absolutely cannot wait for Xenoblade 3 🥳

LET'S GOOOOO 1 MILLION

I love how there’s clear inspiration and elements from all 3 Xenoblade Chronicle games. It looks so good, I’m all kinda of hype.

When they said it's going to be the future setting of Xenoblade 1 and 2, I expected it to be subtle, but I'm impressed with the setting they chose. Not to mention, I'm seeing similiar elements from all three games (1,2,and X). I am super excited for this game! And do I see Melia and Nia in the trailer?!

Can't believe it's almost been 2 years since I was watching the direct live with my friends and it was nearing the 40 minute mark without announcing anything I really cared about. "This next segment will be our last announcement." I had convinced myself XC3 would never happen so I wouldn't be disappointed. I've never been more happy to be wrong in my life. I cried tears of joy and was so loud I could hardly speak the next day. Sometimes I look back and wonder if there will ever be moments like this again.

wish i could forget what happened in the game so i could play it again

Notes after several viewings and slowed analysis: The flute in the beginning has patterns similar to the pattern found on the 3 in the logo, both of which are similar to certain parts of the final boss of XC1 The girl with the rings has a Flesh Eater core, an interesting detail that I found surprising. Several characters are obvious references to others (the ring girl is uncannily similar to Nia, the man with the scar is almost a spitting image of Vandham, and the girl on the stage with the flute bears a striking resemblance to both Fiora and Galea) The first machine we see at about 0:26 has a metal plating on its front, which appears to be at the very least based on Metal Face??? The soldiers at the beginning appear to be wielding blade weapons, though they could also be Monado-powered thanks to Shulk’s innovations in FC The main protag appears to wield a modified version of the Monado REX? The voice playing over the scene with the sunset on the cliff as the two protags face each other sounds like Rex? It may just be a similar actor, but interesting to note nonetheless. It appears that Nia and Melia will return, likely leading rival factions. A voice mentions at one point that allies are “becoming his fuel”. Those who have completed XC1 know why this is a particularly interesting choice of words and suggests far more than it may seem. We see very, very little Nopon action in this trailer, only 2 Nopon visible as far as I can tell Areas from former games that I was able to recognize include: Eyrith Sea, the Fallen Arm, Alba Cavanich, what appear to be the ruins of the Leftherian Archipelago, and a form of Gaur Plains. A boat is seen with a third person perspective, similar to regular gameplay footage. Vehicular travel is very likely in XC3 The 4 member party system has returned from XCX So far, no alternate costumes have appeared, potentially suggesting a lack of comprehensive cosmetic system, as was the case in XC2 until Land of Challenge. This is likely just for the sake of the trailer, as customization was further expanded in XC2 dlc and even further expanded in XC:DE Add anything I missed!!!

i can't wait!!!

New Xenoblade. There is a God!

how is it possible to be so in love with the soundtrack of a game that doesnt come out for another 7 months. i cant stop crying over the flute in sync with the title reveal at the end. i need this game so bad.

I think the real bombshell here is that the game comes out in SEPTEMBER

Had to come back and watch this after seeing that super rough Pokemon Scarlet/Violet trailer. This is what you can do on the Switch with a talented developer. Monolith Soft is so underrated.

I still can not believe I'm going to play a new Xenoblade game this year.

I can die happy now. Xenoblade 3 is here. Old characters return. New characters awaken. The visuals are on point. The music is fluted up to the max. Story about to hit the next level. The world is as massive as ever. These are the days of the future of mankind. I'm really feeling it.

Get this to a million views please🙏🏾 edit: we did it!

Just doing my part to get this vid to 800,000 views

I kinda hope Shulk and Rex are referenced given how they both influenced their respective worlds greatly, we know Melia and Nia are probably gonna be here so maybe they'll be able to connect the lore given that Mia met the Architect who was god basically in xenoblade 2 and Melia quite literally saw her best friend kill their god and become the new god,

I started crying tears of joy at this, Xenoblade is my favorite franchise.

ONE MILLION VIEWS REACHED!

Xenoblade became the new final fantasy

Loving the art style for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 so much. I hope they re-release physical editions for 2 because they are so hard to find.

Wasn't expecting a third Xenoblade, but I'm happy as can be that it's a thing. Now if only Xenoblade Chronicles X was playable on the Switch...

1 Million Views!!! I was here

Don't mind me I'm just here waiting for September

As the wise wielder of the monado once said : I'm really feeling it!!

I see some familiar faces. Even if they are covered by masks.

Me watching this: is this a new fire emblem? Can’t be… that character model looks way too good for a Fire Emblem Noah says one word: Me: HE’S BRITISH! THIS IS XENOBLADE!!!!

I still think back to the days of Operation Rainfall... And look at us now😎🤩

Literally haven’t touched my switch in ages. Now, I’m coming back strong with the best series (imo) of all time! Let’s GOOOOOO!!!!! Xenoblade 3 gang where you at?

I'm so hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I really love how the art style is a mix between 1 and 2. Looks like 3 will have races from both 1 and 2 judging by the trailer having both High Entia and Gormoti. Looks like the worlds of 1 and 2 have merged judging by the appearance of both High Entia and Gormoti.

happy 1 year anniversary to the announcement of my favorite game

This game seems to imply that, when the protagonists of the previous game rewrote their version of the future, the negative parts that were left behind all merged into this universe, just like what happened to Klaus when he split the universe in two. I'm loving all the speculation for this game's story, and I'm excited to see how they are gonna deliver us this great story. Since Monolith are legends at story telling and worldbuilding, I have faith that this will be the best Xenoblade experience we're gonna get.

Just yes, feels weird to actually see the xeno saga being alive again, I thought we would have to wait 5 years but no. That make me so excited

Xenoblade 3 coming in 2022 and looking like a beast of a game ? What a time to be alive ! Thanks Monolith Soft, thank you Nintendo !

good night Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch i love you

Game of the Year.

This actually looks like it combines everything good from all the parts, really excited to play this

Hands down, the best way to end a direct. Xenoblade 3 is a day 1 purchase.

Imagine if Alvis gets to meet Pyra Mythra and Malos how cool would that be

950k fellas! I know the new trailer came out, but we can still do 50k more!

Looks like they increased the max party size from three to four. And those two with the masks at the end have to be Melia and Nia. Also, the New Monado looks sick! I wonder why the Mechonis Sword is positioned like that though.

I'm so excited. Xenoblade and Xenoblade 2 are two of my favourite games ever. Day one purchase for me.

Damn, I didn’t think Melia and Nia would take Shulk’s and Rex’s rejections THAT hard.

Coming back here to say it's another certified Takahashi masterpiece. Not what I would call the "end of a trilogy" but an absolutely amazing game on it's own.

1:24 LOOK AT THE CORE, THATS FREAKING NIA IM SO HYPED

I screamed when I saw this. I love the Xenoblade series so freakin' much. The story, the characters and the hours of gameplay. Been five years since Xenoblade 2? Can't wait!

One of the best games ive ever played

It’s been a year already I can’t believe it……

The environments and the art style looks amazing. It'll only get better from here. I can't wait!!!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Monolith Soft come though!!!! I'm so happy. If you never played Xenoblade I highly suggest trying it out

Holy crap. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a game. The visuals are stunning and the music is amazing, and this is just the announcement trailer. Pretty cool that Xenoblade went from being an underrated, not well-known JRPG to an end-of-Direct reveal, love this series

I wonder how many times I’ve rewatched this trailer. I’m so excited for Xenoblade 3

This looks incredible!! I can’t wait to put hundreds of hours into this. Worth the wait imo

Can’t wait to see how this ties everything together after Future Connected.

Can't believe it's been a year. Now we've got that 20 second teaser for Wave 4 DLC

I don’t know why but it makes me really happy this trailer finally reached one million views. I can’t wait for this game.

Absolutely adored Xenoblade 2. Can't wait for this.

Moments like this is why Nintendo and Monolithsoft are my favorite companies. Already psyched for this game.

1 MILLION VIEWS LETS GOO

now the key art has been leaked!
