Andriasang: Xenosaga developer Monolith Software announced today that it has opened a studio in Kyoto. The developer was previously based exclusively out of Tokyo.
Xenoblade Chronicles series composer Manami Kiyota has possibly finished the final orchestra recording for the next Monolith Soft title.
Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
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.
Great news! The company is expanding and and I cant wait to see more like Xenoblade..these guys really know how to make a proper JRPG ...
Xenoblade--> Best jrpg in the past 10 years
