Nintendo has dropped a ton of info regarding the latest update of its JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles 3. 

The Wave 4 DLC, titled Future Redeemed, focuses on characters new and old in a familiar war against Mobius. The main party is comprised of the first generation of Ouroboros and founders of the city, which includes Shulk and Rex from past Xenoblade titles. Here’s the lowdown of each of them.

Matthew is a young man faring from The City, an organization that opposes the status quo of Moebius. He is an honest and caring young man who is searching for his missing sister Nael. His class is Martial Artist, an attacker class that uses the Ouroboros Knuckle weapon.

A is a swordfighter that wields a thin red sword known as the Monado. He is Matthew’s partner during the events of the DLC. Being a calm and collected individual, she acts as the perfect counterpart to Matthew’s hotheadedness. A’s class is the Monado Fencer, and she is a Healer type.

Nikol is a Kevesi soldier adept with machines and engineering. He is a calm and timid person, but becomes excited when talking about machines. Nikol’s class is Machinist, a Defender-type class that uses a Variable Backpack as his weapon.

Glimmer is a soldier from Agnus who fights by operating a staff with strings. She is a brave young woman, but sometimes her tone of voice can be harsh. At first, she rejects the truth behind Aionios and acts selfishly. She is a Healer class and she uses a staff as her weapon.

Shulk is the hero of Xenoblade Chronicles, a kind-hearted swordsman who wields a great red sword. He lost his right arm in a past battle and now has a prosthetic arm. He uses his left hand exclusively to wield his weapon. His class is Grand Soldier, a Defender-type class that uses a revised model of the Monado REX.

Gigachad Rex is the hero of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a large and tall swordsman who wields a greatsword in each hand. He is bold and frank, and is the leader of the Liberators, alongside Shulk. He lost his left eye in a past battle. His class is the Master Driver, an Attacker-type class that wields the Twin Flaming Swords.

Nael is Matthew’s younger sister. She takes care of the children in The City, and has a very kind personality. However, things go awry after her disappearance. She is voiced by Akari Kito.

Finally, we a mysterious figure identical to Alvis in the original Xenoblade Chronicle. He is most likely the DLC’s antagonist.
