Nintendo has revealed that the next Xenoblade game is called Xenoblade Genesis, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
The latest chapter in its beloved RPG series revealed new characters and locations in a rather lengthy trailer that seemed to show a mix of cinematics and gameplay. It both looks very Xenoblade and very new, showing some areas that look more like the kind of thing you’d see in a Fire Emblem game.
Xenoblade Genesis launches for Nintendo Switch 2 at an unspecified point in 2027. Until then, you can see everything announced at the June 2026 Nintendo Direct here.
