Nintendo Direct 2.9.2022 has had several incredible announcements for Switch owners, with Xenoblade Chronicles 3 being one of the biggest reveals.

While not much is yet revealed about the title, the community is quite certain the game will have dual protagonists. Much of this speculation stems from the character descriptions that Monolith Soft has provided for the game so far, which puts Noah and Mio as the two main characters of the narrative.
