Extra Story

One year has passed since the final battle.

The world is at peace, each race has joined hands, and restoration was underway.

In the midst of all that—.

Shulk suggests to Melia that they search for the Imperial Capital Alcamoth, which had gone missing.

The two board the airship Junks with their sights set on the Imperial Capital, but the ship is suddenly attacked by a mysterious bombardment.

And Junks crash-lands in a place called “Bionis’ Shoulder.”

New World

A further expanded world.

The setting of this new adventure is “Bionis’ Shoulder,” which you never visit in the main story. It is on the left shoulder of Bionis, a suspended mass made of floating minerals.

New Characters

The Nopon Kino and Nene will become your companions on Bionis’ Shoulder. Although young, their strength in battle is fully-matured.

—Kino

He is looking for his father and aims to become a “hero.” He is also a bit shy. What abilities does the Ether Gun given to him by his father possess…?

New Adventure

Like the main story, various strong enemies await Shulk and company on the field. Since Shulk has lost his ability to see “visions of the future,” he must be more cautious than ever when facing an enemy and think carefully about how to approach battle.

The monster in the black mist is called the “Mist Beast” (official English name TBA). Not only does the monster itself possess potent strength, its energy wave is able to attract nearby enemies to attack Shulk and company.

The “Nopongers” (official English name TBA) are a team of Nopon surveyors scattered across various places on Bionis’ Shoulder. They will join you as allies if you complete their requests, supporting you in battle by using their respective special skills as they please. They can also cooperate with Shulk to unleash powerful special attacks.

Takahashi talks about Future Connected quite a bit in this interview. You can skip straight to it if you don't feel like playing the base game again.


I also kind of got the vibe that he's hinting at it connecting to a sequel, and that it's the game that Monolith's already had in development ever since they finished 2.
