"Xenoblade Chronicles 2" aims to be the next best bet for the Nintendo Switch when it releases later this year. Right now, the only thing that avid players have been given is the official trailer clip.

According to IGN, Monolith Soft is officially developing the "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" exclusively for Nintendo Switch. The game developers reportedly want to bring chibi like design elements to the game characters who have been inspired by Japanese animation. The game is expected to have an open world setting filled with quests to conquer and monsters to slay.

"Xenoblade Chronicles" 2 involves a new character searching for a place known as the Elysium. The who-what-why of the story is as of yet unknown. It is hoped that more would be known at the E3 2017 or through a Nintendo Switch related reveal, Gizmodo reports.

As for the environment of the "Xenoblade Chronicles" 2, the game would be having massive proportions of flora and fauna, and since it is not bottlenecked on the Nintendo Switch, it is hoped that the game would have significant visual improvements over the previous game. In the first game, gamers got to face dangerous wildlife and beautiful environments on a planet moving through the sky, Trusted Reviews has cited.

The official trailer clip show massive giants moving through the sky, towering over the playable character. The trailer also sheds some light on animals that can be ridden, which only validates the open world environment and that the world can be traversed on top of animals and vehicles.

As for the combat in "Xenoblade Chronicles" 2, the trailer doesn't shed enough light upon how the characters would fight and interact.

Xenoblade Chronicles, known in Japan as Xenoblade (Japanese: Hepburn: Zenobureido?), is an action role-playing game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo for the Wii.
