‘Xenoblade Chronicles X’ To Offer Downloadable Data Packs For Increased Loading Speeds!

Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct brought loads of surprises, as well as some welcome updates on previously announced titles like Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U. Beyond showcasing new video eye candy, which I am completely in favor of, they also discussed the function of four data packs for the game, all of which are already up on the Wii U eShop. These downloads will serve to decrease loading time in-game for the disc version of the game; the eShop copies will have these packs included. It should be noted that downloading the packs is optional but strongly encouraged.

Here are the names of the data packs and their file sizes:

– Basic Pack (2 GB)

– Enemy Pack (2.7 GB)

– Player Pack (3.6 GB)

– Skell Pack (1.7 GB)

Xenoblade Chronicles X will release in North America on December 4th.  Pre-orders are currently available on the Wii U eShop as well as at your local game store.
