Xenoblade Chronicles 3 1.2.0 Update Introduces Support for New DLC and More; Sneak Peak at Wave 3 DLC Released

A new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 update is now live worldwide, introducing support for newly released DLC and more.

The 1.2.0 update allows access to the new Expansion Pass DLC, which includes a new Hero and related quests as well as Challenge Mode. Additionally, the update makes it easier to obtain the Soyprimo Sauce, increases the effect time bonus for Fusion Arts using Flash Fencer’s Acceleration Art, and more.

Game Spec: Additions and Changes

• Added function to receive Expansion Pass 2.
• The availability of “Soyprimo Sauce” was previously restricted outside of the progress of a certain quest, so now the City Caravan shop located in the City will sell Soyprimo Sauce.
• Increased the effect time bonus for Fusion Arts using the Flash Fencer’s “Acceleration” Art.

Fixes

• Fixed Collectopedia items “Gogol Dalm”, and “Gogol Olipple”, previously unavailable in Ver. 1.1.1, so that they can now be acquired.
• Fixed an issue in which a character’s audio of falling in battle would play over the sound of them falling down before the screen faded to black.
• Fixed additional issues to improve the gameplay experience.

Shortly after the release of the new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC, publisher Nintendo shared a sneak peek at the Expansion Pass Vol.3 DLC, which will include another new Hero and new kings of Challenge Battles.
