Andriasang's Anoop Gantayat writes, "You might recall some news from last year about Xenoblade developer Monolithsoft's hunt for staff to work on a new project of some form. That project appears to be progressing well. The company posted a new notice at its website today stating that the new project is expanding, and as a result they're seeking even more staff."
Nintendo wants Xenoblade Chronicles developer Monolith Soft to have a central role in the development of the next Legend of Zelda game.
They had a central role in developing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Probably. After how well those 2 games sold I doubt they'll ever go back to the more traditional style games. Doesn't matter to me which one they make.
Wasn’t it always? Ocarina of time was also open world no? Was there any zelda game that was linear?
They didn't. Literally read the article, or anything about the interview posted in the past couple days.
Mono had minimal involvement in Skyward Sword, joined into BOTW halfway during production, and only TOTK is where they were actually there from the start.
They proved they can do both. The made two new Xenoblades on the Switch and ported over two older entries. While helping with two Zelda games. Which will never not be insane to me.
for sure :) I want them to announce their new RPG for SW2! Xenoblade is one of my favorite series of all time
Maybe I will enjoy Zelda games once more if they take over and remake the series into an RPG
Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft reflects on the past and future, talking about quality and striving for more.
Love their games. I wish they had more power to work with as they create awesome worlds but are limited by handheld specs. Hopefully Switch 2 upscaling can work some miracles with the lower end specs and gives the immersion that this world should have.
I'm looking forward to seeing more on what they'll do for Switch 2. Longs they maintain their standard and they have done it for
years.
Hope for Xenosaga 1-3 remaster one day whether they do it or not. They did it with Baiten Kaios.
i would love to play the xenoblade games, as im a big fan of the xeno series in general, but damn.
the anime style character looks and the mmo approach/inspiration the combat is not my cup of tea at all.
Nintendo Life: "If our hopes of some Monolith Soft Switch 2 goodness weren't already high enough, today, they reached a new peak as we learned that the team has added a fresh cutscene director to its ranks with a pretty beefy portfolio to his name."
