After a surprise bumping up of its release last month, Nintendo and Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is very quickly approaching. Earlier today, Nintendo aired the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct, a presentation focused entirely on showcasing the upcoming JRPG as it gears up for an early release. The show ended with a surprise in revealing that the game will be supported by post-launch DLC alongside an expansion pass, which teases new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 story content arriving by December 2023.
