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

A new character, Valdi, has been introduced as Keves mechanic who aids the party with combat support and healing when on the battlefield via the War Medic class. Given his occupation, he also has an affinity for tinkering with weapons to bolster their capabilities. When first meeting the party, Valdi identifies them as Ouroborus and tries to harm them before being stopped by Manana.

ルディはケヴェスのコロニーに所属し、兵器の開発・修理が得意なメカニック。ケヴェスの兵器開発で右に出る者はいませんも。機械への愛も人一倍強いみたいで、兵器にそれぞれ名前をつけているみたいですも。だから良い兵器が開発できるんですも！#ゼノブレイド3 pic.twitter.com/gMVj0MNhuV

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.
