Xenoblade Chronicles 2 uses a similar gameplay style to the previous installments, featuring players traveling across large, explorable environments.[1]

Development

Nintendo announced Xenoblade Chronicles 2 during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 event. Tetsuya Takahashi once again served as the game's director. The character designs for this installment were done by Masatsugu Saito.[3]

The game's music was handled by Yasunori Mitsuda, ACE (Tomori Kudo and "CHiCO"), Kenji Hiramatsu, and Manami Kiyota, who had all previously worked on Xenoblade Chronicles.[3] Mitsuda was the lead composer for the game, writing all of the music.[4] Recording began by the end of March 2017[4], and was finished by early April.[5]
