Is Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a Sequel?

A Direct Sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Connects 1 and 2

The latest entry in the Xenoblade franchise is said to bring together the stories of both Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, making it a direct sequel to both games. Though these games have been mostly separate stories, this game will finally tie them together.

No locations and characters from previous games have been confirmed. However, there were a few clips in the trailers that hint at some of them returning in this new title.

Where to Start the Series?

We Recommend Starting with Xenoblade Chronicles (DE)

Storylines are independent of each other

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Sequel to Xenoblade 2

You can jump into any of the games in the Xenoblade series and still enjoy the experience without prior context. The order in which you play Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2 does not matter as they are completely separate stories with only minor elements tying them together.

Characters from past games tend to make an appearance

It is best to play the previous games before jumping into Xenoblade Chronicles 3 because major characters tend to crossover from one game to the other. There's always that nice feeling of having characters from previous games come and make an appearance as a way of bridging those two games in continuity.

Familiarity with gameplay and mechanics

Though not entirely necessary, we highly recommend playing Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2 first before starting 3 since there may be story elements that you cannot fully understand otherwise. Getting familiar with these mechanics will likely help you in enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles 3 to the fullest.
