What Is Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition?

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is the enhanced version of the beloved RPG originally released on the Wii U. When Nintendo announced this edition on X, they highlighted that it features "enhanced visuals and brand-new story elements." The game's story synopsis reads:

"The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira—and now it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells!"
