Under sidste uges Nintendo Direct, blev det bekræftet at Xenoblade Chronicles X ville blive udgivet i Japan til april. Det betyder selvfølgelig, at spillet næsten er færdigt, og nu tweeter spillets producer, Shingo Kawabata, at dette også gælder for lokaliseringen af spillet (oversat via Neogaf): "Counting, it's been about 5 years since Xenoblade's release meaning you've all been waiting for a long time, but, speaking honestly, it feels like a long time even for those of us working here. On top of that, we're also well underway with localization work, too."
Kawabata opsummerer i et andet tweet, hvor der står: "However, I believe we have created something that you will feel was well worth the wait, so I hope you can remain patient for the game's release a little while longer."
Dette betyder at vi forhåbentlig kan spille det lovende RPG en gang til sommer, eller måske til efteråret.
