Recall that the extension of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be the main piece of the expansion pass and is expected to release somewhere in 2023.”We will add a new story at the end of the expansion pass, and we plan to make its volume of content as large as that of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country. We hope that those who enjoyed this content, as well as newcomers, will pick it up. It’s a rather large volume of content that shouldn’t disappoint you.“, according to the words of Genki Yokota, producer at Nintendo.
This confirmation comes from the conclusion of an interview with the main designers of the game which has just been published on the Nintendo site. During this exchange, director Koh Kojima also revealed that the total area the player can explore on foot in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 turns out to be more than five times larger than in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which even had the gift of astonishing the person concerned. Hence the interest of having added an optional guide function which clearly indicates to the player the route to take according to the quest he has selected, a bit like the scout ball of Xenoblade Chronicles X but more practical.
Another confirmation that emerges from this interview, although Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is presented by its creative director Tetsuya Takahashi as the culmination of this franchise on which Monolith Soft has spent its life for 15 years, the producer Genki Yokota has no hesitation when affirming that this opus in no way marks the end of the travel. “Yes, the series will continue! I want this to continue as long as possible!“, he proclaims as one man.
