Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Switch 2 Edition Adds Heroes' Vault Mode — original editorial gaming news illustration

Nintendo has revealed more of what players can expect from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition when it arrives on December 3. The upgraded release introduces Heroes' Vault, a new challenge mode built around fighting successive waves of enemies while strengthening the party between victories. Players can choose enhanced abilities or recruit additional allies during a run before eventually facing a powerful final opponent, effectively injecting a dose of roguelite-style progression into Monolith Soft's enormous RPG. New footage also shows the visual and performance improvements being prepared for Switch 2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was hardly lacking things to do in its original form, so adding another progression system to a game in which players can already spend entire evenings reorganizing characters, classes and accessories feels appropriately Xenoblade. The Switch 2 Edition gives Nintendo another substantial catalogue title to refresh for its newer hardware while offering existing fans something more meaningful than merely sharper grass and fewer moments of the resolution becoming philosophical.
