Our heroes are in a bit of a robotic pickle in the latest trailer for Monolith Soft's RPG...

Dubbed "The Foreshadow", the latest trailer for Xenoblade leaves us wanting answers (and a western release date) more than ever.

The video seems to confirm the importance of the mysterious 'Monado' blade in the story - a powerful weapon which can only be wielded by some, and could be the key to defeating the ruthless, mechanical soldiers of Kishin; the corpse of a god home to a war-hungry rival faction.

Xenoblade releases in Japan on June 10th, with Nintendo remaining tight-lipped on the prospect of the game hitting the west. Fingers crossed for a confirmation at this year's E3...
