Today Nintendo showcased a large batch of gameplay of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 during a livestream from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
The livestream showcased almost fifty minutes of the game, providing a good glimpse on environments, combat, quests and characters.
We get to hear about the relationship between drivers and blades, and we see part of the game’s localization via dialogue scenes.
Among the areas shown there is Eight-Rock Skip, Bluestop Ditch, Fairlaine Wells, Fairlaine Central Pools, Pelza’s Sluice, Drillbone Bridge, Minnet Terrace, Stone Gate Ruins, Gwenith Paddies, and a few locations within the large city of Fonsa Myma: Fonsa Myma Gate, the Entertainment District, the Commercial District, Torika Alley and Sevind Palace Plaza.

Recently, we also learned more about a series of characters designed by Tetsuya Nomura, and that the production of the massive music soundtrack is complete.
The game will release in the west this Holiday season, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. At the moment there is no firm release date yet, but it should come soon.
