Nintendo and Monolith Soft confirmed MOMO Mizrahi from the Xenosaga trilogy will be a Blade in theupcoming Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in a new trailer going over additions. She’ll appear alongside the Blade Merc Assault battle mode, Pyra and Mythra costumes, and a quest. As expected, this version will also run at 60fps. It will be at 1080p HD in Handheld and 4K when docked. The Upgrade Pack and new version arrives on July 30, 2026. Physical copies arrive on October 1, 2026. 

MOMO appeared in all three entries of the Monolith Soft JRPG series Xenosaga and will be a Rare Blade in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 just like fellow crossover character and ally KOS-MOS. In her original game, she’s a Realian based on an actual human who loves the mascot character Bunnie. Here, that carries over as her weapon looks like a ball-and-chain flail with Bunnie’s face at the end. Here she’ll also have a second form, and between the two she’ll have light and dark elemental affinities. Her second form wears a pink and black outfit with bunny ears. The trailer starts to show her off at the 1:46 mark.

The overview trailer tends to go over every addition to show exactly how they look and work. That video starts by showing the new frame rate and resolution options. At the 40 second mark, the new Pyra and Mythra costumes described as a “special reward” show up. At about 55 seconds in, we see the Mech Assault mode that allows us to control Blades directly. We can choose six Blade characters out to fight on missions, and can swap between using them at any time.

Here’s the full video:

The Switch 2 edition of the first game is already available. The third entry gets an Upgrade Pack on December 3, 2026.
