Been quite awhile but Xenoblade 3 rumours are starting to pop up ever since the Jenna Coleman small talk with a very small youtuber happened a few days ago. She slipped about Xenoblade 3 but it was unclear if she is having a role in the game until today where Imran seems to confirm Xenoblade 3 is a sequel in the future with possibly all of the Xeno cast.

"Musing about her first role in
Xenoblade Chronicles, Coleman said “God, when was the first game? Ten years ago? It was a long time ago, I did it pre-
Doctor Who days and when they did they second one , they asked me to come back. And I think they’re going to do another,” Coleman paused. “Common knowledge? Don’t know. Yeah, I think they’re going to do another. Not sure if I’m allowed to say that.”
Coleman’s quote has caused rumors to stir over the weekend of a new
Xenoblade Chronicles currently in development. According to our sources here, we can indeed confirm that to be the case. Moreover, the game is nearing its final stages of development, but its release date may be held back for any number of reasons.
The third
Xenoblade Chronicles game in development at Monolith Soft is a sequel to
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, currently the best-selling game in the series. The ending of the trilogy takes place in the far-flung future with a few returning characters who have long-outlived their human counterparts from both
Xenoblade Chronicles and
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is why Coleman, who plays Melia, would be aware of a third game, as her character is returning and she more than likely has recorded voice acting for it.
According to our sources,
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was set to be revealed earlier this year, and may still be announced before the end of the calendar year, but has had a difficult time with pandemic development and optimizing the game for the Switch. The game is aiming for more character models on screen at once than any previous title, accounting for both playable characters and enemies.
This is the best news ever to me. This pretty much means everything I theorized was true and we are indeed getting a game with all the Xeno characters in one against a major threat (gnosis most likely because of FC). The focus on the Zohar in the 10th anniversary Xenoblade artwork, KOS-MOS appearing alongside the main Xenoblade characters recently, etc. and the Elma sidequest in Xenoblade 2. Everything is going to come true and I am unbelievably excited. This comes from a extremely credible source and this is what happened with Stranger of Paradise: FF origin a few months ago. It is the very same cycle of events. People heard rumours and then Imran comes out to confirm it. I am not going to doubt him here and I think this is real because everything is lining up perfectly.
KOS-MOS HAS to appear in Xenoblade 3 guaranteed now. I just hope she has a bigger role than a cameo because it does seem like my theory of Xeno avengers is pretty much coming true! We may have lost KOS-MOS in smash but it seems likely she can appear in Xenoblade 3 based off this. So we can be happy all the same right? This IS what she needs after all. Either way, I'm ridiculously hyped to see this as the game seems to be aiming for more character models on screen than ever before due to the crossover party I guess!
