Similar to the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy, the game Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is divided into various chapters, with some being more extensive than others. Unlike other games where advancing the story might involve heading straight for an objective marker, in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, progression isn’t always straightforward. Some chapters are hidden behind non-story related missions. For this remastered 2025 version, a fresh chapter has been specifically designed.

How to Unlock All Chapters
All Story Mission Prerequisites
To begin your Story Missions, locate the “New Orders” task on the job board (in the basic missions section). This assignment will be given by Vandham. After accepting, make your way back to BLADE Barracks for a chat with him. Keep in mind that each Story Mission carries a suggested level of play, although you may also encounter a list of prerequisite quests you must finish before moving on to the next chapter.
In general, Story Missions aren’t tied to any specific level, but Chapters 8 and 13 (Act 3) are unique in that they do require a certain level to play.
