It appears that 8-4 will not be working on the localization of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the West. In a Tweet last month  Co-founder John Ricciard confirmed that they were too busy with other projects to handle it.

Nintendo announced at the Switch event last month  that the game would release in both North America and Europe sometime this year. If we learn anymore information about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 we will pass it along.

Steve started with oprainfall not long after the campaign moved from the IGN forums to Facebook. Ever since, he has been fighting to give all non-mainstream RPGs a fair voice. As the site admin, he will continue to do this and even show there is value in what some would deem "pure ecchi." He loves niche games and anime more than anything... well, except maybe Neptune.
