Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is getting an expansion pass to give players even more content. The developer revealed that there will be four waves of DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 3: The first wave will add new items, costumes, and quests to the game. The second and the third wave will bring a challenge battle mode and a new hero. The fourth wave will add new challenges and story DLC.
As with most new games, Nintendo has decided to include expansions and future-paid DLC in their game releases. Although Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has yet to launch, the developers have not waited to announce expansions.
While some fans will probably be fine with this practice, some will be disappointed, claiming that it shows greed. The developers are not exactly displaying the best image of themselves if they decide to announce a new Expansion Pass before its release date. However, the game does have some great things coming.
