Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition rated “T” by the ESRB
One of the last big titles originally released on Wii U is finally coming to Switch, and it’s Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. This RPG is just under two months away from its March 20th, 2025 release date. As such, it makes sense that the game has just been officially rated by the ESRB.
Unsurprisingly, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has received a rating of “T” for Teen, the same rating the original version of the game received. It was rated T for “Animated Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence”. You can find the ESRB’s updated ratings details below:
This is a role-playing game in which players lead characters on missions to save the human race. As players explore a hostile alien planet, they interact with characters, complete missions, and engage in combat against aliens and human-like creatures. Players use lasers, energy weapons, mechanized suits, and swords to kill enemies. Battles are fast-paced, highlighted by slashing sounds, realistic gunfire, and large explosions. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: characters executed/shot off-screen; creatures impaled by swords, resulting in black blood-splatter effects. The game contains some suggestive material: female characters wearing revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage, partially exposed breasts); camera angles that linger on characters’ breasts/buttocks. During the course of the game, characters are sometimes depicted drunk; in one mission, players can bond with other characters by ordering them drinks/consuming alcohol (e.g., “Agree to a drink” and “Offer to buy the next round”). The word “a*shole” appears in the game.
