Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s Rex Trending On Twitter In Japan
Rex, the protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, was trending on Twitter in Japan on November 1, the day of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct.
On November 1 and November 2, Super Smash Bros. was the No. 1 trending topic in Japan (143,421 tweets), followed by Rex at No. 2 (11,401). The reason behind Rex’s popularity is because Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fans were elated to see Rex adapted into a Mii Swordfighter costume for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Here are some of the tweets:
「大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズSpecial」でMii用にレックスの衣装が実装されるようです！さらにスピリッツにはゼノブレイド2のキャラも居るとのこと！これは楽しみですね！
