Following the reveal a few days ago, Monolith Soft released quite a few details, art, and clips of new images and artwork from xenoblade chronicles 3next titled DLC Redeemed Future.
While the details were provided in Japanese, you can find a handy translation of everything we learned below.
We take a look at the protagonist Mateo. He belongs to an organization called “City” that opposes Mobius. He has a simple and caring personality and is looking for his missing sister, Nael.

The heroine “A” fights with a thin red sword and acts alongside Matthew. Her personality allows her to assess the situation calmly and this makes her a good partner for our heroes who tend to act without thinking.

Nikol is a Keves soldier well versed in mechanical engineering. He is calm and quiet, but becomes surprisingly assertive when it comes to talking about machines. Instead of using a Blade, he fights with mechanical arms.

Glimmer is a soldier of Agnus and fights using a staff with strings attached to it. He has a strong personality and sometimes speaks in a harsh tone. She acts a bit selfish because she is not able to accept reality.

An “Ouroboros power”, which is more powerful than normal arts, can be set on the left side of the screen, and can be fused with arts to create a variety of effects. The effect depends on the combination. For example, here you can see some kind of aura.

By combining the power of two characters, you can unleash a move called the “Union Combo”. For example, you generate a Union Combo by executing a special attack against an enemy in the air. The recast of these special moves can be increased by using Arts.
Union Combos differ depending on the two characters executing them, and there are differences in damage and range. They can either Smash, Burst, or Blow, and both characters will receive an Awakening buff.

Matthew’s class is “Martial Artist”. His preferred weapon is the Ouroboros Knuckle. He is an attacker capable of delivering a huge barrage of blows, crushing his enemies before they have a chance to attack. His talent art “Gigantic Beat” recovers 50% of the recast from all arts when he hits.
