Nintendo recently unveiled a robust Expansion Pass for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the highly anticipated action role-playing game developed by Monolith Soft, set to launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
This announcement confirms ongoing post-launch support and new downloadable content (DLC), available through the Expansion Pass priced at £26.99 (€29.99 / $29.99) via the Nintendo eShop. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 builds on the success of its predecessors and is scheduled for release on December 1, 2017, marking a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch’s growing lineup of JRPGs.
The game transports players to the world of Alrest, where they embark on an epic quest alongside unique characters and powerful Blades. The newly confirmed Expansion Pass offers access to a stream of downloadable content that will roll out from December 2017 through autumn 2018.
The content roadmap is designed to keep players engaged well after the base game’s release, starting with bonus quests and support items available in December.
In spring 2018, players can look forward to the introduction of a Rare Blade, which is set to expand the battle strategies and customization options within the game. Continuing the DLC schedule, Nintendo also detailed an action-packed challenge Battle Mode releasing in summer 2018, where players will face particularly formidable enemies.
The Expansion Pass content culminates in autumn 2018 with all-new side-story content, set in the acclaimed world of Elysium, offering fans additional lore and gameplay. In a statement, Nintendo emphasized that these downloadable content packs are exclusive to the Expansion Pass and will not be sold individually.
Players aiming for the full Xenoblade Chronicles 2 experience must purchase the entire Pass for access to all forthcoming features and adventures.
Nintendo also noted that further details on the individual DLC packs will be communicated in future announcements, and indicated the possibility of additional content being included in the Expansion Pass beyond what has currently been announced. Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s Expansion Pass demonstrates Nintendo’s commitment to delivering extensive long-term value to Switch players and further strengthens the game’s post-launch lifecycle.
With Monolith Soft at the helm, fans can expect both quality and depth.
As one of the standout releases of 2017 for the Nintendo Switch, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and its Expansion Pass establish a new benchmark for role-playing games on the platform.
