Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Update To Add New Game Plus, Fix Bug

Monolith Soft director Tetsuya Takahashi revealed news about the next update for Xenobalde Chronicles 2.

Update 1.3.0 will fix a bug from 1.2.0 where "in certain instances during and after Chapter 7 ... a Blade linked with a specific Driver disappears from the Blade List (it only disappears from the list, the Blade itself does not disappear)," Takahashi says. The bug is a result from the process of adding "Advanced New Game Mode," which allows players a second playthrough option that launches with the update February 13.

More information about the update will be shared leading up to its release. Until then, read our Xenoblade Chronicles 2 review here, and see Takahashi's production note here.

Our Take
It's always nice when a developer makes necessary updates to a game, especially when it's a huge RPG like Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Advanced New Game Mode also sounds like an enticing way to reel players back into the world of Alrest.
