Xenoblade Chronicles X, the upcoming Japanese role-playing game from developer Monolith Soft, is nearly complete.
According to executive director Tetsuya Takahashi, development on the Wii U exclusive is almost finished, despite the team having to overcome a few hurdles along the way. "The development [of Xenoblade Chronicles X] did have its twists and turns, but we were able to finish up (just a little more until it’s complete) Xenoblade Chronicles X in the sci-fi world we aimed for from the beginning in a seamless open-world with online play, and I feel that we were able to overcome several obstacles as far as game development goes," he said on Twitter.
"With the vast world that was shown when Iwata-san introduced the game in the Nintendo Direct the other day, it would bring me great pleasure to have you folks get to thoroughly explore it," Takahashi added.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is set to release in Japan this coming spring and sometime in North America and Europe before the end of 2015.
It has online play? Since when was that a thing? Whatever, don't care, I'm buying this for single player.
First of heard of it or maybe I'm just forgetting. Eh, doesn't concern me too much. Unless they have like superbosses you and five other people can fight at once. Then I am vastly interested.It has online play? Since when was that a thing? Whatever, don't care, I'm buying this for single player.
Since the first time it was announced? And don't bother, the single player and multiplayer seemed to be joined at the hip, a la Dark Souls or Monster Hunter.
I really can't wait for the Xenoblade X specific Nintendo direct which is when I assume they'll spell out the details like thisYes now with Balance Board support you can take your walking to the next level with friends.

Long running joke about all the trailers for this game.I really can't wait for the Xenoblade X specific Nintendo direct which is when I assume they'll spell out the details like thisYes now with Balance Board support you can take your walking to the next level with friends.
What?!? Are you implying you didn't like the exploration of the huge open world in Xenoblade Chronicles? If that's an issue for you just use the teleportation option it's super convenient.

Amiibo support: Shulk figure makes your character's clothes fall off
I severely doubt there's any issue regardig an American release, given how much they've showed it, but worst case scenario it'd be digital only. The Rainfall games would have come to NA digitally if the infrastructure had been there (assuming they could have pared them down to 40 MB).
