gameranx.com:

Tomorrow will be a big day for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 fans. Why? Because tomorrow will be the release of the “Future Redeemed” DLC, a brand-new story in this universe. Despite what many thought might happen, the story DLC is a prequel to the main game’s campaign, which has many interested in how it connects to everything. Adding to the intrigue is the return of two beloved characters from the franchise. Specifically, the return of Shulk and Rex, the protagonists of the previous mainline titles. But when you look at them, they don’t look like their previous forms. Instead, they’ve very much grown up.

First, we have Shulk, the original protagonist of the series. He’s grown out his hair quite a bit, and he’s lost his right arm. But even with that, he’s still wielding the Monado. Oh, and he has a robot arm to replace the lost one, which is pretty cool.

As many fans have noted in gameplay looks at the DLC, Shulk plays a lot like his friend Dunban from the original title. To further prove this, a new gameplay clip showcases his new class of “Grand Soldier” and shows him using the “Blossom Dance” technique in a new way. So if you’re hoping Shulk will play like before, he just might.
