A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira. Now, it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction…with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells.

With three weight classes and a ton of weapon attachments to choose from, a well-tinkered Skell can give you the edge you need.
A massive world full of surprises: Discover bizarre and beautiful plants, animals, and landscapes on your journey across planet Mira. Map new areas, collect resources, and try to locate fellow survivors as humanity builds New Los Angeles.
Assemble your crew: Recruit party members to your cause from a memorable cast of characters. Each companion has different combat and support skills to offer. You can customize their gear, weapons, and more at any time.
Squad up with Nintendo Switch Online: Once you have enough experience, you can join an online** squad of up to 32 players to take on multiplayer missions. Squad members can recruit each other’s avatars to their parties, share information, give and receive gear or items, and team up for missions or battles.
