uhh
Can anyone translate the site? Are they taking on primary development duties, or are they just continuing to assist?

This is nothing too crazy. It's to be expected that the next 3D Zelda is in development and that Monolith Soft is supporting again. That said, it's always exciting to see tidbits that point to those things.
Yes, definitely. And I believe Skyward Sword, too. EDIT: And maybe A Link Between Worlds as well.

They helped with BotW and they make some of the best game worlds in the industry, so this is exciting news!
They been helping with the development of LoZ since Skyward Sword I believe.
Even they had staff on LBW.

Interestingly, this is labeled as "Production 2". The Xenoblade team is "Production 1".

So do they have 4 teams now?
Production Studio 1 = Xenoblade
Production Studio 2 = Zelda
Production Studio 3(?) = New Medieval IP
Monolith Soft Kyoto = Support, looking to make their own games

Note that Monolith contributed to Breath of the Wild too. It would be interesting if someone could translate the specifics though.
Nope, Monolithsoft helped with both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild when they were nearing completion, which means...
KING ZELL WAS RIGHT BABY!!! ZELDA 2020!!!
Why they hiring staff like main character desinger or concept art designer.... Is it'll be full monolithsoft game?

Yeah, three separate games. The Medieval IP is under "Special".

Does that mean they're only just now starting full development? 2 years after the release of BotW?
Then again, they were brought in on BotW pretty late in the game. Primarily just to aid in the open world, iirc. If they're already gearing up for the sequel, maybe it's farther along than people expect.

Nah the roles are different. Here they are hiring for the full shebang. Not support. Character designers, concept art design, action planners, level designers, programmers for all aspects of the game, project manager, and all the graphics staff as well. It's not a support role hire.
Dammit, they're outsourcing for the BOTW sequel, aren't they? I hope this doesn't affect whatever Monolith Soft is working on in-house.
Edit: No, seems like they're just straight-up making the next Zelda game on their own. Wow. Monolith Soft is quickly moving up the ranks of Nintendo developers.

A considerable amount of staff worked on Breath of the Wild.
Pretty interesting that they're actively promoting it

They had a lot of people helping out on BotW, and before that, Skyward Sword.
Kyoto Support were the ones who helped out all the other Zelda games?
It's not updated though. And the roles they are hiring for are almost identical.
Whoa, cool your jets. Their action RPG project is almost certainly different from this Zelda project they're hiring for.
