'Xenoblade Chronicles 2' News: RPG Gets a Release Date and a Special Edition
Given that they almost reached rock bottom last year, Nintendo is working hard to keep the attention of the fans ever since they made a spectacular comeback in this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
Currently, the gaming giant seems to be riding their momentum for all its worth as the upcoming open-world role-playing game titled "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" has finally received a release date.
The announcement came by way of the Nintendo Direct which was held last Sept. 13. The broadcast featured the "Super Mario Odyssey" Nintendo Switch bundle that they plan to release next month, as well as what to expect for "Xenoblade Chronicles 2." Like "Super Mario Odyssey," the latest installment of the "Xenoblade Chronicles" series will come in a special bundle specifically made for the loyal fans.
