Throughout this prequel story, players will control a brand-new party made of familiar faces, like Shulk and Rex, the protagonists of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, respectively, as well as new characters, like the protagonist Matthew.
Several truths will come to light, elucidating various mysteries surrounding pivotal plot threads and characters. The gameplay is largely the same as Xenoblade Chronicles 3, except with a couple of new features and alterations to shake things up, like finding City survivors and upgrading weapons.
One of the new characters is Panacea, a soldier who fights alongside Shulk and sees him as a master of sorts. She’s honest and stubborn, making her appear intimidating and relentless. Another new character is the cautious Rinka, a soldier who works alongside Rex. She respects Rex as a mentor but often admonishes him for his rashness.
