XENOBLADE CHRONICLES DEFINITIVE EDITION Has Recently Been Rated By The ESRB; Could Release Soon

Nintendo has recently update the official website for the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, revealing that the ESRB(Entertainment Software Rating Board) with a T for TEEN; much like both the original Xenoblade Chronhicles for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo 3DS port.

What's interesting here isn't the fact that the game was rated, but the fact that this usually means that we may be getting close to an official release date. When Nintendo announced this remastered edition, they only revealed that the game would be releasing in 2020, but they didn't even give us a tentative release window.

Just last month, we got some unofficial information that may have given away the release date of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Nintendo didn't corroborate the date, but according to a Danish website the game would be hitting store shelves on the 29th of May.

Now that Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition has been rated by the ESRB, it makes that 29th of May release date a lot more plausible — although this could also mean that the game is releasing sooner than that. We still don't have official information from Nintendo or Monolith Software, but this is still some exciting news.

The ESRB has finally rated #XenobladeChronicles Definitive Edition. It was also just rated in South Korea recently, so it seems like development may be wrapping up on the game soon. This is it everyone! just a little longer and we'll get some news. pic.twitter.com/vZCcjfOUkd
