REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A brand-new trailer for the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition game is here, featuring new details on what players can expect when the sci-fi RPG launches on March 20.

The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira. Now it falls to you, as a member of the New Los Angeles colony’s BLADE organization, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction.

Mira is a sprawling alien world filled with vast oceans, expansive grassy plains, towering mountain ranges, exotic jungles and more – each with their own secrets to discover and threats to face. Move seamlessly around the surface of the planet and explore many huge areas, watch their ecosystems come to life, and encounter a range of unfamiliar, gargantuan beasts that can be battled to gain valuable resources. Once you have proven yourself to BLADE, you can even unlock your own Skell: a powerful exoskeleton that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel and wield immense strength in combat.
