Nintendo has announced that Xenoblade Genesis is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, news that was shared in today’s Nintendo Direct presentation.
From Monolith Soft, this upcoming game is pitched as “a new beginning for the Xenoblade series.”
“Anima was the source of all things. Water. Fire. Wind. Every force that gave shape to this world was a manifestation of the Anima that flows through the land. And when battles were waged, they were decided by Anima and those who could wield its power: warriors known as Vesselai,” the narration to the upcoming game’s reveal trailer explains.
Set in a land “warmed by the light of six suns,” within the trailer, we see an unnamed character arrive at an academy called Leukos, where she receives an Anima crystone that is used to amplify a Vesselai’s powers and record its bearer’s thoughts and actions.
Xenoblade Genesis will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in 2027.
