I wonder how you came across this tweet chain lol
Anyway, we know from the Takahashi-Hashimoto interview that Monolith was working on/planning a fantasy action game back in late 2016. Also, the company went through an unusual growth period between August 2017 up until October 2018 (announcement of Production Team 1's RPG). I doubt all the new hires were for the Torna DLC. Couldn't be for Zelda either since the recruitment for that project went up in March 2019.
I'm sure the project has existed in some form, but whether it'll ever come to fruition or not...it's tough to say. I'm personally not 100% convinced that we're getting a new IP. It does seem like this guy has some idea of what's going on behind the scene at Monolith, so I would take his word for it.
On the bright side, this person also shared that XCDE is being worked by a small list of staff members. He said that he was given a much larger staff list for Takahashi's team. It's why I'm fully anticipating a new Xenoblade game in 2021, 4 full years after Xenoblade 2 (3 years if you count Torna).
After Bravely Default II anything is possible!
KID ICARUS UPRISING 2 LET GO WOOOOOO.
He seemed to have information on Monolith Soft. He even said Honne said he put that out as recruitment art and it's not indicative of a new IP is coming.
Idk how this person has Monolith information, but it does make me think there is no new IP and it probably was another recruitment advertisement...which sucks. Had so much hope for a new IP. Of course it could still happen, but it's dampened. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition next year and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for 2021 is basically where I'm at.
I hope they get to make a new single player IP one day.
I wish he had proof that Honne said it's just recruitment art and not related to a new game.

I have faith they will get to make a new IP someday. The company has gained so much support from fans and will continue to do so with the next Zelda and Xenoblade games.
Actually, I don't expect Xenoblade to last forever. It's probably in their best interest to create a new IP before Takahashi retires.
Is there any proof at all that that person knows anything?
He's been given access to the storyboard scenes for all of the Xenoblade games at least. He's also shared names for specific animated cutscenes from the Xeno games, which isn't public knowledge.
Hopefully that's the first thing Sakurai works on after Fighter Pass #5
God I always forget how good Super Metroid is, I just started it again the other day.
It truly does not need a remake but if we had to get one I'd say we could use a few QoL upgrades like a much more detailed map, and different buttons for the grapple beam/x-ray beam. Small things like that.

how is that any worse than an OT that's not made by a human. time has passed by people so much that they haven't realized animals have thread-posting privileges
Pretty sure the first thing he's working on after Fighter #5 is Fighter Pass Part 2.
There's no way to prove an insider's legitimacy. That goes for everyone including Zell, Emily, etc. (I trust these people btw). Based on the stuff that this person's shared, he seems to be legitimate. I'm of course cautious about him, but I'll fully trust him after I see the credits roll for XCDE.
IIRC, he hinted at MS being involved in a different project that he was excited for (not Xeno). He shared a picture of Ganondorf a few days/weeks prior to the announcement of BOTW2. Whether that's considered inside info, I can't say...

Before XenoblaDE was announced he was talking about wanting a Xenoblade Chronicles 1 remaster.
We know people like zell and Emily are legitimate because the information they have shared has turned out to be true. I just don't understand why this person is being entertained as an insider when they've gotten nothing right before.
I never disclosed this person's Twitter account (nor did Dark Cloud). Especially with how brutal Era can be. How can you even question his legitimacy without even looking at his posts?
I don't fully trust him as of right now, but I also don't think he's making crap up like so many other people do. All I'm saying is that he's someone that might be worthwhile to watch for.
I wouldn't call any of that a "hint". Zelda is a given and that's well before the job postings went up. as for involvement in other projects, that's too vague given the studio's role since the acquisition
I still believe the medieval multiplayer game. the "hiring ad art" angle runs counter to all the times MS have made such art. there was even one that came out the same time, which I'm not sure is still viewable on the site

Yeah, but no one anticipated a new Zelda at E3. It was a complete surprise.
Do we have any hints as to when the next Direct will be, or are we just assuming we'll get a January one as usual?
There will be one in january, or February, or maybe even march.
Are you thinking they'll wait until March?
This could mean a million things.
Platinum's first XSX/PS5 title most likely
and Bayonetta or whatever
At that point, we already had King Zell saying a 3d Zelda would land in 2020, so an E3 2019 reveal of Zelda could definitely be an educated guess
The one thing about this possible Monolith new game was when they announced the recruitment in August 2017, they had 2 concept art + there was a 3rd one. I don't know if it was in that section or elsewhere.
it's this one. At the time we all knew (how did we know again? Lol) this was just for recruitment like the 3DS one. The other 2 we figured was for the new game (one with Zelda look alike and ruins with a Knight).
This art is no longer on their website.

Can someone PM me who we are even talking about (seeing as people have mentioned they don't want to name drop them in the open)? I'm a bit lost here with all the discussion of a person's reliability when their name hasn't even been mentioned.
Edit: Thanks momo

they were on separate pages. the medieval game was on a special recruitment page, while this one was a more general hiring page
How much can Monolith reasonably be working on at once? We know they're working on Xenoblade Definitive Edition, as well as assisting with BotW2. On top of that, it seems like they're developing Xenoblade 3, and some people seem to think they're also making a new IP. That's an awful lot on their plate. I wouldn't be surprised if that new IP doesn't come to fruition, or becomes part of Xenoblade 3 somehow.
It's finally time for that Murasame Castle sequel!

Give me TWWHD as a holiday preorder bonus for BOTW2 (March 2021 release).
They're waiting on those 64GB cards for FFXIII Collection.
What I *really* want is M2 doing Collection of Gaia. And also ports of PSP/mobile FFT and Tactics Ogre.
The gameplay. If it's action rpg or even has online integration
As we come to a close for 2019, do you think this year was better than 2017 for Switch (personally)?
For me personally it was the best year so far. So much variety and so many great games. Too bad the 1st half of the year was like always kinda meh but starting with Mario Maker 2 it was hit game after hit game.
It's tricky. This year had some awesome games, but I don't think any matched the quality of BoTW or Odyssey for me. So I'd give 2017 the slight edge from a personal standpoint.
That being said, 2019 was objectively great for the Switch. The volume and quality of first party games along with continued third party support was incredible.
It's difficult to compare the two. I think 2017 was better in terms of the big hitters due to Breath of the Wild, Odyssey and Splatoon 2. But to me 2019 was "better" just because of the sheer variety of software from Nintendo, third-parties and indies.
