Fans issue spoiler warning as Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s street date is seemingly broken

Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s street date has reportedly been broken over a week before its official release.

Photos of copies of the game in the wild were shared on ResetEra on Wednesday, before many were taken down.

Several ResetEra users also report having been able to order the game from eBay sellers who claimed to have it in hand and ready to ship, Nintendo Life reports.

Additionally, it’s claimed that one player who managed to obtain Xenoblade Chronicles 3 early has been showing game footage on Chinese video sharing website Bilibili, which revealed details about one of the Hero characters players can recruit to their party.

Expectedly, some fans are now expecting more footage and story spoilers to appear online before the  Xenoblade Chronicles 3 release date, which was originally scheduled for September, had been moved forward to July 29.

Last month Nintendo announced plans to release a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass priced at $29.99/£26.99.
