Thank you for the correction I was doubting between the whole company and Takahashi's team ^^, that makes more sense actually.

^^^Yes. The Kyoto studio is responsible for assisting Nintendo EPD and Monolith Soft's Tokyo studio games. Since the studio's formation in 2011, they have not developed a game of their own. They mainly produce art asset for Nintendo and MS's in-house studios.
It's interesting that they are highlighting a major expansion via their tweet. I don't think it means they will start to develop their own games yet. None of the positions they are looking for indicate that kind of growth.

Not for their own game, but future Zeldas, Mario, Splatoon, etc would either get a really nice CG trailer for advertising or help in cinematic portions of a game story or whatnot. I foresee Zelda going heavier into cinematic side for story purposes.
Metroid Prime assistance maybe?
or if they do make new games themselves (if) it would be Mario+Luigi series

Speaking of which, I wonder if Nintendo still employs Marza Animation Planet for for renders
With all the expansion Monolith is doing, it's kinda impressive how important they have become to Nintendo.
Mega props to Momo as usual for finding this.
Carrying on the Mitsuda Chronicles from last month, he's now working with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra from Slovakia on "a video game".

This clears up the speculation from last time, his big project is indeed a game.
BSC is also of note as they worked on XB2 as well, even around the same time frame (April 30th-May 1st).
There was a some doubt last time (especially on Reddit lol), but imo this is gonna be XB3 (or X2 I guess).
Full steam ahead on the hype train.

Wasn't Mitsuda the one that did 'The Decision' in 2?
Alright, I'll admit. This got a laugh out of me.
Thanks both for keeping us in the loop - this is an exciting time. There's so many possibilities. Chuffed if it is indeed a Xeno game as I dug the XC2 soundtrack.
Meh, they could get Discount-Sawano like in Darling in the Franxx.
Can't wait! Excited to get mine from Japan again, looking like it's been attacked by a wild dog.
I'd take both of these!
You can afford central heating now, eh? :P
If this is the game we think it is, as in a blade game of some variety, it potentially puts an end to talk of an X port this Christmas?
Every time I see this thread pop up on the front page, I just get excited lol. But yeah, I think Mitsuda is working on the next major Monolith Soft game. We could easily be wrong though.
Although I do wonder, will it be the same soundtrack team as XC2 such as Mitsuda and ACE+? Or will they have Yoko Shimomura involved similar to XC1?

Gonna need this in preperation
That said I would also like a new IP (or return of an oldie) as well as XB3. Variety is nice
XBC 2-2 hype! Or least 1+2 lolGonna need this in preperation

anyways hopefully after this they would give Honne a seperate project
I'd be perfectly happy with a Xenoblade 3 - the series is quite malleable, it can be anything the team want.
Yeah I'd expect it would be quite different from 1, X, and 2, even if its called Xenoblade 3.
I mean, I'll buy it. but after Xenoblade 2, I'm gonna be hesitant a bitGonna need this in preperation

that's what I thought about Xenoblade 2.
then the last part happened
I fear not.. the fact 1,2 & X has different main composer (mitsuda only did the ED song for 1 and 3 potentially has the same composer as 2)
I'm leaning continuation of 1+2 story line.. plus I doubt it's not Xeno related as mitsuda won't be back without takahashi convincing him again
the man is mostly retired and even hesitated on making 2.. doubt he would take a job for a different work
I'd be gutted if the eventual X2 doesn't have Sawano, the music is such a big part of that impeccable Planet Mira vibe. You're not really "stuck on a different planet" unless some guy is shouting it over a battle theme.
I believe there was an interview with Takahashi where he said all the Xenoblade games are connected - but that XC and XC2 are like the opposite sides of the same coin, which is why they appear more closely linked.
I reckon a Xenoblade 3 might call back to those games in some capacity - but it may not. And I think if it does, the connection won't be anywhere near as explicit as with XC and XC2.
An X2 might call back to those games too.
"Each entry in the Xenoblade Chronicles series has depicted a single episode within the flow of a larger time and space...
"...Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are like two sides of the same coin which might be why it feels like the connection between them seems to be particularly standing out."

I mean the fact that they are connected doesn't change the fact that XC2 is a very different game from XC1 in every respect save for world design. Like I know people, both on here and irl, that dislike XC2 for not being like XC1.
m might shyamalan dot jpg would be the next xenoblade having a different modifier altogether.

If your problem is the shared multiverse in general, that's probably not going away.
Though 2 is probably going to be somewhat of a special case. I don't expect the parallels to go that deep again any time soon.
It should be a direction sequel in the sense that...
The Conduit/Zohar is present in the new game but it's entirely unconnected otherwise
Agreed!
I just want to see what else on the opposite spectrum they can create.
aww yeah, didn't think mitsuda would be back but glad I'm wrongMega props to Momo as usual for finding this.

That would be pretty nuts, less than 2.5 years of dev time.
Isnt this upcoming game already on production late 2018? Considering this and XBC DE was presented at the same time May 2018
XCDE and the new game started development August 2018, December 2021 release would be too early imo. If we're going by XC2's dev cycle (started July 2014) it would be closer to March 2022. And of course we have coronavirus too
Whenever someone suggests Monolith make a new Baten Kaitos I always feel the urge to point out the obvious and say there's not a single benefit to doing that instead of making a spiritual successor and not giving a cent to Bamco.
Maybe more inhouse people helped rather using mostly outsourced? Plus "if" this would be a continuation of 1+2 then it is less time consuming to do
Also maybe it's releasing Winter 2021 japan which is until end of March

It will be 3 years at minimum by the time it releases. Xenoblade 2 had barely 2 years of actual development, so there's actually a sizable gap. It's safe to say that it won't get anywhere close to Xenoblade X's lengthy development cycle though haha.
