‘Xenoblade Genesis’ for Switch 2 already looks stunning.<\/p>\n
Nintendo<\/p>\n
Yet another installment in the Xenoblade series will be released next year for Switch 2, and the prior games are also getting Switch 2 upgrade packs.<\/p>\n
Entitled Xenoblade Genesis<\/a>, it takes a seemingly older approach to the various weapons and combat available to the player, with the game world being inside what looks to be a giant sphere.<\/p>\n The name Genesis also implies that this could be a narrative prequel to the other games, which would be an interesting route to take.<\/p>\n The game also looks stunning on the Switch 2. The world looks even more lush and expansive than earlier games in the series, which is no mean feat.<\/p>\n In addition to a new Xenoblade game, we also have Switch 2 upgrade packs on the way for Xenoblade Chronicles 2<\/a> and 3<\/a>, with the original Xenoblade Chronicles<\/a> getting the upgrade pack today (shown above)<\/p>\n Having played the latter, it does look a lot better than the Switch version, but not everyone shares my appraisal<\/a>. With the lackluster Switch 2 upgrade<\/a> for Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/a>, some people were hoping for more with these Switch 2 versions.<\/p>\n Personally, I\u2019ve been really happy with all the various Switch 2 upgrades across various games, with the Xenoblade series being part of that, obviously, but I am clearly in a minority.<\/p>\n In any case, with Xenoblade Genesis on the way next year (shown below), Xenoblade fans have a lot to look forward to.<\/p>\n Follow me on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. I also manage Mecha Damashii<\/a> and am currently writing regular columns in Japanese about mecha games and mecha anime for both Game*Spark<\/a> and Automaton<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Xenoblade Genesis’ for Switch 2 already looks stunning.
