'Xenoblade Chronicles X' Special Edition to release in N. America

A Special Edition of "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is primed to make its North American debut later this year.

For those looking for an exact date, the Special Edition of the game will be available starting Dec. 4, according to Polygon.

The Special Edition "Xenoblade Chronicles X" will be available for $90.

As for what exactly players can expect to be included in that Special Edition package, they will, of course, be getting the actual game itself, but that obviously is not all.

Fans of the "Xenoblade" franchise will be glad to know that there will also be a 100-page concept art book they can peruse through as they admire all the stunning visuals in the game itself. Players will also receive a USB flash drive that has been modeled after the Lifehold Units found in the game, giving it that distinctly "Xenoblade" look, and it also contains the game's official soundtrack. On top of all that, buyers will also receive a matted art card that features the work of Takashi Kojo.

People can also choose to pre-order the Special Edition "Xenoblade Chronicles X" so as to guarantee they will actually end up with a copy. As of now, the Special Edition of the game has only been confirmed to be made available for select retailers nationwide, meaning the game could end up being widely available or hardly at all.

For those unfamiliar with the "Xenoblade" franchise, the new game is a roleplaying title that puts players in a pseudo science fiction heavy world that also has influences of the anime style.

Previously, another title from the franchise, "Xenoblade Chronicles," was also introduced to North America, but its sales were limited to a single retailer, according to iDigital Times.

For those who may not be eager to fork over the $90 for the Special Edition of the game, they can still get the Standard Edition of "Xenoblade Chronicles X," which will also be released on Dec. 4.
