Coming this summer to Nintendo Switch and PC, XEL is an epic sci-fi journey that weaves striking visuals and the classic top-down RPG view with a mesmerising story. A love letter to classic Zelda titles, XEL takes players on an adventure via the amnesiac hero Reid, charged with uncovering the mysteries of the alien planet she’s stranded on.
