The studio behind the acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles franchise has announced that it has begun a hiring spree for work on a “new RPG” which will be directed by the legendary Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi said in a message on the official website that the new project will take on more new challenges compared to previous games in Monolith Soft’s lineup. Gematsu says that the company is looking for a 2D artwork staff designer, 3D CG character designer, 3D CG map designer, development environment engineer, field level designer, assistant director, in-game animator, an effects designer, and more.
Monolith Soft hiring for a new RPG directed by Tetsuya Takahashi
Very interesting especially if it’s an original game and not a xenoblade
And probably for the successor of the switch
New RPG? Color me intrigued🤩
Even if it’s not a sequel, but something along the lines to Xenogears would be amazing, especially coming from him.
I will purchase anything they make. I love that team!
Woot… if you have Tetsuya Takahashi involved, then expect an epic, philosophical, beautiful-looking, extra-long cutscenes, mech driven, overly emotional characters, single-player campaign.
Isn’t this just a Nintendo Job listing posted by a Nintendo Designer? I’m sure this will be a hit among die-hard modern Nintendo fans. Currently, the Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 2 has reached a dead end with their RPG catalog. Other publishers have been eating their lunch lately, which isn’t that challenging to do.
This seems like Yokota-San has been throwing stuff at the wall for the Switch 2 line-up and seeing if it sticks.
