The official Japanese Xenoblade series promotional account has shared new specific gameplay and characterization information regarding the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Juniper, a Phantom Archer of the umbrella Attacker class, is introduced as a proficient user of stealth. She delivers severe damage with her arrows and hunts down her enemies by veiling her presence. Further, she has grown incredibly agile due to her home being in the forest, causing her to swiftly move past trees and atop ropes. Regarding allegiance, Juniper is aligned with Agnus, though she prefers living in dense forestry rather than conventional civilization. She is also quite trusted by others in the colony.

Nintendo of America has shared that her localized name is Juniper.

We’ll keep updating you all on any significant 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 the 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.
