Nintendo Announces Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct For This Week

It’s been a wild month of video game announcements, updates, trailers, and more courtesy of June’s gaming showcase schedule. Between the 2022 Xbox & Bethesda showcase, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, and the third-party PlayStation State of Play, people have been expecting Nintendo to announce its own June gaming direct. 

It has finally happened, though it may not be as general as you expected. That’s because Nintendo has revealed that a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 direct is happening this week. 

“Tune in on 6/22 at 7 a.m. PT for a livestreamed Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct presentation featuring roughly 20 minutes of information about the upcoming RPG adventure for Nintendo Switch.” 

This direct, as you can see isn’t the one people expected. It will instead be the one in which Nintendo talks about its future plans regarding the Switch for 2022. Instead, we’re getting 20 minutes of Nintendo’s next big release, Xenoblade Chronicles 3. If you’re excited about Monolith Soft’s upcoming RPG, then Wednesday is going to be your favorite day this week. 

You can watch the trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 while you wait. Then, read on about the change in the release date from September to July.
