Just last week I was asking when Nintendo’s next big Direct would be happening… and earlier today we got our answer. However, don’t expect an all-encompassing E3-type presentation, Nintendo has done their ‘Nintendo thing’ and surprised us. Yes, we will be getting at least one Direct this month (later this week, in fact) but it’s going to be single-game focussed.

Xenoblade Chronicles fans rejoice! As per the news release a little earlier today, Nintendo will be presenting a special Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Wednesday the 22nd of June at 16:00 local time. As per the official announcement you can look forward to a:

presentation featuring roughly 20 minutes of information about the upcoming RPG adventure for Nintendo Switch.

Rumours have immediately begun stating that Nintendo’s big mid-year Direct will now be happening in July – but considering that many of those same people were “sure” we’d be getting a full Direct at the end of the month – I’d take any new info with a pinch of salt. The interesting question is whether or not we’ll get new info or even a sneaky mention of any other games on Wednesday.

One can hope, right?

Tune in here to watch the presentation.
