With the title set to finally have its official launch later this July, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be arriving with more than just the main game. The title will also include an Expansion Pass, which will be quite similar to the one that was introduced in the second franchise entry.

The Expansion Pass will allow players to get their hands on new additional missions, sidequests, and other content.

It was recently revealed by Nintendo and Monolith Soft that the upcoming launch would offer players a chance to purchase the Expansion Pass, which contains four waves of DLC content.

They also revealed the entire roadmap for all the DLC waves, as well as the release time for each of them and the type of content that players would be able to expect as soon as they go live.

The Expansion Pass can be preordered by players on the Nintendo Switch eShop and will cost $29.99.
