Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition: Rebuild Humanity on Mira

In the year 2054, a cataclysmic intergalactic war leaves Earth in ruins, forcing the remnants of humanity to seek refuge among the stars. A colossal generation ship known as the USS White Whale becomes the last bastion of hope for our species. Its mission: transport the few remaining survivors to safety. When an unexpected attack forces the White Whale to crash-land on the uncharted planet Mira, the delicate spark of human life clings to survival on a dangerous new frontier. You assume the role of a newly awakened recruit in BLADE—an elite military and exploration unit entrusted with humanity’s future. Surrounded by untamed alien landscapes, colossal lifeforms, and the echoes of unknown civilizations, you must find a way to rebuild society, uncover Mira’s many mysteries, and protect your fellow survivors from the threats lurking in every shadow.

A World of Untamed Wonders  

From the moment you set foot on Mira’s surface, you’re confronted by its breathtaking grandeur: sky-scraping mountain ranges crowned with swirling alien foliage, luminescent caverns rippling with mysterious energies, and sprawling deserts dotted with bizarre rock formations. Each environment is distinct, brimming with vibrant flora and fauna that challenge your every assumption about what life can look like in the far corners of the universe. You’ll encounter both gentle herbivores grazing in sun-soaked meadows and fearsome apex predators prowling the darkest recesses of the wilderness. As you venture deeper, you’ll uncover hidden grottoes overflowing with rare minerals, remnants of advanced alien civilizations, and secret passages that lead to spectacular vistas. The day-night cycle and dynamic weather patterns breathe additional life into the planet, altering both the fauna you’ll encounter and the strategies you must adopt to survive. Central to your survival and exploration efforts is the Skell—a towering, humanoid mech designed to handle the toughest terrain and the most fearsome foes. In the cockpit of your Skell, you’ll experience the sheer power of mechanized combat, launching devastating missile barrages or swinging enormous energy swords against towering alien behemoths. 

Rebuild Civilization  

Mira might be formidable, but your people refuse to give up. Your home base—aptly named New Los Angeles—serves as the nucleus of humanity’s hopes and dreams. Here, you’ll help shape the city’s future by gathering resources, forging alliances, and recruiting fellow survivors with specialized talents. Securing a steady supply of fuel, food, and water means establishing forward outposts, mining rare minerals, and building communication relays across every corner of the planet. Each success story brings New Los Angeles one step closer to stability. But your responsibilities extend beyond logistics: you’ll also mediate disputes among colonists, delve into the moral quandaries of terraforming alien ecosystems, and decide how humanity’s new society should govern itself. Your choices will ripple through the community, shaping its culture, ethics, and willingness to face the unknown.

Assemble Your Elite Squad  

Behind every BLADE recruit is a unique story of survival and resilience. Some are seasoned soldiers who witnessed Earth’s final hours firsthand; others are engineers, doctors, or explorers who yearn for the thrill of discovering new frontiers. Your squadmates are more than simple allies on the battlefield—they’re companions whose personal struggles and triumphs enrich your mission. Each character comes with distinct combat proficiencies and skill trees, allowing you to develop specialized roles within your party. Want to focus on raw damage output? Equip one companion with high-octane weaponry. Need a support-focused approach? Assign gear that bolsters healing and buffs. Over time, you’ll forge deeper connections with your crew by completing personal quests that shed light on their histories and motivations. These bonds don’t just strengthen your team; they heighten your emotional investment in the fight to preserve humanity. Mira’s untamed expanses hold secrets that stretch far beyond human comprehension. As you follow the main storyline, you’ll piece together the origins of this exotic world, uncover evidence of ancient civilizations, and grapple with questions about humanity’s role in a universe teeming with other lifeforms. The narrative intertwines themes of hope and desperation, showcasing both the unwavering spirit of survival and the harrowing realities of a ruined homeworld.  

Claim Humanity’s Future  

With Earth lost to the fires of war, Mira represents both a second chance and a reminder of what we’ve lost. Will you stand tall in the face of its many challenges, forging alliances with strange new lifeforms and protecting your fragile colony from destructive forces? Or will you succumb to the planet’s merciless trials, leaving humankind adrift and leaderless in this alien domain? The future of our species lies in your hands. Rally your squad, pilot your Skell, and venture forth to reclaim your destiny. In Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, an entire planet waits to be explored—and only you can light the path toward humanity’s survival. The call to adventure resonates across Mira’s untamed wilderness. Answer it, and prove once more that no matter how dire the odds, the human spirit endures.
