Today is a Japanese studio Monolith soft best known for creating Xenoblade – large-scale role-playing games with open world for consoles Nintendo. Recently, the team pleased their fans with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition – An updated version of the first Xenoblade.
Good news for franchise fans doesn’t end there.. Currently, the team, apparently, is already working on the next game in the series Xenoblade Chronicles. In an interview with the Spanish edition Vandal Creative Director Monolith Soft Tetsuya Takahashi told that Now the studio is focusing on the further development and strengthening of the Xenoblade brand.
At the same time, Takahashi himself would also like to engage in a “game of a slightly smaller scale” that is not related to Xenoblade, if he had such an opportunity.
“From the perspective of expanding our portfolio, I would like to work on a project of a slightly smaller scale, if the opportunity presents itself. But now, it seems to me, it’s worth focusing our efforts on developing the Xenoblade Chronicles brand. Although, of course, if we manage to organize the studio in the right way, I would love to work on some small game, “Tetsuya Takahashi explained.
It is worth noting that back in 2017, the studio announced urgent recruitment for “work on an ambitious game that is fundamentally different from all previously created studio projects“Then it was reported that the leadership wanted to refresh the Monolith Soft brand in the eyes of the public. No details were provided, but the team’s official website still has special sectiondedicated to hiring professionals to create this mysterious project.
The page also has two other sections – recruitment is underway for the number one production department, which is the one that Xenoblade Chronicles releases and in which Takahashi works directly, and second division – specifically for working on The Legend of Zelda – presumably The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.
At the moment, it is not known what is happening with a completely new mysterious ambitious game. There is a theory that it is being created in parallel with Zelda in the second production department, or is this the same “smaller project” that Takahashi mentions in a new interview.
Earlier this year, another significant employee Monolith soft Hirohide Sugiura talked about the origins of the company and the events that influenced its creation. You can read about it here..
