Xenoblade Chronicles X- Official Trailer

Xenoblade Chronicles X, known in Japan as XenobladeX, is an action role-playing video game by developer Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The game is part of the Xeno series of video games, serving as a spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii. It was released on April 29, 2015 in Japan, and is scheduled to release in 2015 for North America, Europe and Australia.

In a similar fashion to the original, the game plays as an open world role-playing video game, with an emphasis on exploration.Traveling can take place on foot, or in large humanoid robots, approximately four times the height of the average playable character,[4] called "Skells" ("Dolls" in the Japanese version), that the player may opt to control. The Skells have the ability to fly, traverse water, and transform into vehicles such as motorcycles or tanks. Aerial battles will also take place in the game.

During the game, the player seeks out and recovers the stasis pods that were ejected from the White Whale's hull during its emergency landing, which land in various places across Mira. In order to search for places with stasis pods, the player must expand the "Frontier Net" information system by installing data probes at places called "Frontier Net Spots". By establishing data probes at various points on Mira, the Net obtains information on the related areas and expands its scope.

The game's battle system will play similarly to the battle system found in the original game, with some improvements.[9] The past game's quest log will also return in an improved form.[10] The Wii U GamePad will be used as an "information terminal" for data the player gathers about native organisms, a map, a way to warp to previously-visited locations, and for Off TV Play.
