Nintendo has shared more gameplay and character information for the upcoming vast Monolithsoft-developed JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Throughout the world of Aionios, players will encounter groups of foes fighting each other. A side can be fought alongside during these instances, with both choices granting unique rewards. Choosing which side is more worth the effort of temporarily allying with will be one of the many combat-related choices players must make. On an unrelated note, Unique Monsters can be rechallenged by examining their tombstone for grinding if one desires it. This functionality was also in previous games.

Additionally, the Hero Party member, Ashera, is highlighted as a user of the Lone Exile Class, which is part of the Defender umbrella. She utilizes a sword with dual blades and gathers aggro from enemies. Further, she can counterattack when allies are in danger. Ashera is a native Keves celebrity and combat enthusiast, embracing the battlefield in enemy territory. However, she is feared by many because of her apparent indifference toward the deaths of her comrades as well as the peril her own life consistently faces.

The initial tweets sharing this plethora of gameplay and character information are viewable below:

アイオニオンの世界では、エネミー同士が戦っている場合がありますも。どちらに加勢するかを決定してから戦闘をすると、勝利後に特別な報酬を受け取ることができますも。どちらの報酬が良いか、どちらの方が勝ちやすそうか見極めて加勢するのがポイントですも！#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/EDp2FlUa3L

ユニークモンスターを倒すと、その場に墓石が残りますも。墓石を調べると、ユニークモンスターと再び戦えますも。強くなった自分で再戦すると、成長を実感できるかもしれませんも～！#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/ULgUouCSLF

ヒーローの一人「アシェラ」（CV:M・A・Oさん）。クラスは「ローンエグザイル」で、両方に刃がついた剣で戦う、超攻撃型のディフェンダーですも。武器を振り回して放つ素早く強力な斬撃で、エネミーに攻撃することでヘイトを獲得し、周囲の味方が攻撃されたときも反撃ができますも。#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/DPQCguINfx

アシェラは戦場でもどっしりと構えていて、とっても強そうですも。とりあえず、敵じゃなさそうで良かったですも…！#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/X2hnj7zBQe

We’ll keep updating you all on any vital Xenoblade Chronicles 3 news.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 tells the story of protagonists Noah and Mio contending with a conflict between the nations of Keves and Agnus. 6 characters will be the crux of the experience, and the broad concept of “life” will be the title’s central theme.

The narrative for the game will tie in elements and plotlines from the future of the prior two mainline games, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Flutes seem to play an integral role in this title’s premise.

The summoning of this powerful new form depends on a new Interlink system. If specific conditions are met, characters can combine into this mech, and choosing well when to transform should be key to the more difficult battles. Another system revealed is a class change option, allowing players to customize their parties’ builds further than in previous games.
