Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Goodies To Ship At A "Later Date" (Europe)

We've got an update for the European Xenoblade fans out there. According to Nintendo UK's official website, the extra contents of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition won't be released in time for the game's new launch date - 29th July.

If you do reserve a physical copy of the Collector's Edition in this region, you'll receive the game software on the launch date, and the additional contents at a "later date" - which is expected to be at some point during Autumn / Fall 2022. Notably, all items will be shipped with free delivery.

"Please note: if you reserve the Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Collector’s Edition, you will receive the packaged Xenoblade Chronicles 3 game software when it launches on July 29th. The additional contents of the Collector’s Edition (Nintendo Switch SteelBook® case, softcover concept art book and outer box packaging) will be delivered separately at a later date (expected delivery timing: autumn 2022). All items will be shipped with free delivery."

As mentioned in our pre-order guide. the Collector's Edition / Special Edition (exclusive to the My Nintendo Store) includes package artwork from Masatsugu Saito, a full-colour 250+ page hardcover art book and a steel case. We'll let you know when pre-orders go live:



So, there you go - if you do get this edition of the game and happen to be located somewhere in Europe, you might be waiting a little while for all these extra goodies. Nintendo has also reportedly confirmed a similar rollout for the Collector's Edition in Japan, and it sounds like it'll be the same deal in North America.
