Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Leaked Before Launch

Originally set for a September release window, upcoming action role-playing game Xenoblade Chronicles 3 by developer Monolith Soft and publisher Nintendo has been scheduled to arrive for Nintendo Switch consoles on July 29, 2022.

Over a week ahead of its anticipated release, street date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is broken and in-game footage are currently circulating on social media sites and some were able to get their hands on physical copies to play instantly.

Players started to report earlier that alleged images of Xenoblade 3 were being shared across ResetEra forums by user ImBald earlier before many of them were taken down to spare series fans from any potential spoilers before release.

Some fans also claimed that they were able to order it from eBay sellers as those copies were ready to ship over right away. One player is reportedly streaming in-game footage on Chinese video sharing website Bilibili, revealing spoilers.

Twitter user @ActualAero has shared an image of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 leaked copy ahead of its release.

Now is the time to start leaving the internet & muting words. These have no embargo so ending cutscenes & everything will surface online soon especially after the .xci gets dumped. Stay safe out there

Earlier last month, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct announced an Expansion Pass that adds four waves of DLCs in post-launch period. Players were also introduced to its characters, gameplay and in-game world through an overview trailer.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Special Edition sold out on My Nintendo Store shortly after pre-order went live in U.S. Scalpers then begin to sell them on eBay for about $250 and $350, which was originally priced $89.99 only for each customer.
