Sadly, they did not mention pulling the gacha system out of XC2.

The Xenoblade series is going all out on Switch 2.

Today's Nintendo Direct confirmed a brand new entry in the Xenoblade series will be available next year. Known as Xenoblade Genesis, the RPG appears to be centered on a school.

Additionally, Switch 2 Editions of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 - 3 will be available throughout the rest of 2026. New content, including a vehicle travel option for 1 and battle challenges for 3, will be included in the collection. The dates are:

• Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition: Digital / upgrade today, physical July 30
• Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Digital / upgrade July 30, physical October 1
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Digital / upgrade and physical Dec 3

Can't say I'm all that excited for yet another JRPG centered around school life, but eh...we'll see what they show as we get closer to release.

As for the Switch 2 editions, I'm definitely in "wait and see" mode on those after what happened with X's Switch 2 edition. They're welcome additions if they're good, but I've already played all 3 of those games fairly recently and don't plan on playing them again any time soon.
