Nintendo snuck some new details about Xenoblade Chronicles X into their 11.5.2014 Nintendo Direct. Monolith’s massive RPG will see the people of Earth fleeing the planet after a galactic war and crash-landing on an uncharted planet. From here, the player takes over scouring the planet and conducting research from the city of New Los Angeles. Quests will include collecting items, hunting monsters and taking on requests from the people of New Los Angeles. These quests will all influence humanity’s survival. In typical Xenoblade style, some will deepen bonds with friends and party members, while others will progress the story.

Satoru Iwata, president and CEO of Nintendo described the game as being massive, even bigger that Xenoblade Chronicles. He also showed off some of the gamepad features of the game, including a navigation system to research the planet in a stress free way. The game is due to release in 2015.
