Nintendo E3 2017 'Xenoblade Chronicles 2' gameplay, trailer, release details and more

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 got a new trailer at Nintendo's E3 Spotlight, serving up all sorts of gorgeous anime realness. Nintendo didn't announce a concrete release date, but said it was coming out exclusively for Nintendo Switch this year in time for the holiday season.

Even though Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a numeral in its name, it will feature a different protagonist from the first Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii.

If it's anything like Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U, it should feature a gorgeous open world and plenty of anime melodrama. We'll have more on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as more information becomes available.
