Over the past decade, Xenoblade Chronicles has become a significant franchise for Nintendo, thanks to two main entries and one . Fortunately for fans, neither the publisher nor Monolith Soft plan to abandon the series in the coming years.
In an interview with Vandal, Monolith Soft head and creator of the Xenoblade Chronicles series, Tetsuya Takahashi, stated that the studio is focused on developing the Xenoblade Chronicles brand and will continue to release games within it.
"From the perspective of adding more variety to Monolith Soft, I would like to undertake a smaller-scale project if the opportunity arises," he said. "But right now, I think we need to focus on increasing the value of the brand we have created from Xenoblade Chronicles. Of course, if we can organize ourselves to make that possible, I would still love to give a chance to a smaller project."
It is worth noting that back in 2018, Monolith Soft stated that it had "no clear plans for continuing the series," but apparently, changed that. Recently, a was released on Nintendo Switch, which not only revamped the graphics but also many other elements. For instance, a more detailed and user-friendly quest log now indicates the location of your objective, whether it’s an item or an enemy.
Recently, Takahashi confirmed that Monolith Soft has three separate teams, one of which is working on entirely new intellectual property. Rumors suggest the project will take place in a medieval fantasy world, although it’s quite possible that the setting will be akin to that of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Additionally, the studio is assisting with the development of a sequel .
