Xenoblade Chronicles X has already been finished as the title was released in Japan in April this year. The new Monolith Soft game for the Nintendo Wii U will arrive in the US this December. With that in the know, the developer is already working on its next game, which is speculated to be new one for the franchise, except that it will be for Nintendo's new home console, NX.

In a recent report from AttackoftheFanBoy, Tetsuya Takahashi, who is the head of the developing studio, talked about the team's upcoming projects. When he said, "It is always like this, every time," it was taken as a sign that a new Xenoblade game is already in the works. The Japanese version has already been launched in April, where Western translations will be available in December.

Followers of the franchise are supposing that the new game will be for the Nintendo NX console, the new device which has already been confirmed by the developer. Certainly, this will give the title more possibilities with the features equipped in the said device.

Xenoblade Chronicles X made a mark in the listing for digital sales in Japan for the month of May. As enumerated in a website dedicated to Nintendo games, the title landed the number one spot, which was followed by Minecraft's PS3 edition, and then Bravely Second: End Layer for the 3DS on third. While the game still does not compare to the performance of Splatoon, it still is a good sign that it is appealing to many gamers.

In terms of the gameplay proper, IGN shares some information as to when a player would be able to get the Skell. According to Takahashi, it would be about 30 hours into the game. He explains, "The reason we decided to do that was because the scale of the game changes once you get a Skell... We wanted to make sure that the initial difficulties... would be something you had a full sense of before you got the Skell."

Xenoblade Chronicles X will be releasing in US sometime in December this year. The Japanese version has already been released a few months back, so it will only be a matter of months before translations for Western versions would become available.
