A brief update was posted to the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account yesterday. It was stated that the team is in high spirits as they approach the final stages of development. Additionally, we can expect an increase of information from around this month.

Yes, yes and more yes. Hopefully we will see some different areas than just the opening, some more towns and a little more on the story.

Good to hear they're optimistic. Never got to play Xeno on Wii so definitely picking this one up.

There has got to be a new Nintendo Direct coming up later this month

Nintendo Direct coming soon. I can feel it. I'm REALLY feeling it.

Ok, I'm sorry now. I guess this could mean a Spring release in Japan and Summer in the West? That would be awesome.

Can´t wait! I hope this game sells a lot, not like the Wii one.

Really hoping it arrives in the West this year. Its prequel was one of my top games of last gen, and the only game I desire more than this is the one in my sig/avatar.

We need a new Nintendo Direct, stat.

Get it. Now.

Dunno why, we're all already buying the game, right? Why not keep all that stuff as a surprise? Don't show me too much of the game. I already want it.

I just want an official release date to really get hyped about. Although I wouldn't mind seeing an area or two, I hope that they leave enough vague so that I can truly explore an unknown world on my own accord.

Just get into the mech customization please.
