Torna takes place 500 years before the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Clearly, Nintendo sees it as deserving of recognition independent of its parent. Nintendo sent it to me as a separate game, and it will stand on store shelves as a seperate game. While this will be different for every person, I myself have decided to view Torna as its own game. Judging it therefore requires the reconciling of two very different perspectives. It is simultaneously a sizeable DLC add-on for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, while also existing both digitally and physically as its own independent release, making it in a way the fourth full Xenoblade title.


Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country represents a fascinating new venture for Nintendo.
