Monolith Soft, the renowned developers behind the Xenoblade Chronicles series, are embarking on a thrilling new journey with a "new RPG." In a recent announcement on their official website, Chief Creative Officer Tetsuya Takahashi shared exciting details about the project and the studio's ongoing recruitment drive. If you're passionate about RPGs and eager to contribute to a groundbreaking open-world game, this could be your chance to join a visionary team.
Tetsuya Takahashi Seeks Talents for ‘New RPG’
In his message, Takahashi emphasized the evolving nature of the gaming industry and the need for Monolith Soft to adapt its development strategies. The challenge of crafting an open-world RPG, where characters, quests, and storylines are intricately woven together, requires a more efficient production environment. This ambitious project demands a larger, more talented team, prompting Monolith Soft to hire for eight crucial roles, ranging from asset creation to leadership positions.
While technical skills are essential, Takahashi stressed that the ultimate goal is to enhance players' enjoyment. Monolith Soft is seeking individuals who are not only skilled but also share the studio's passion for creating memorable gaming experiences.
Fans Wonder What Happened to the 2017 Action Game
This isn't the first time Monolith Soft has ventured into new territory. Back in 2017, they announced an action game featuring a knight and a dog in a fantastical setting. However, updates on this project have been scarce, leaving fans curious about its fate. The original recruitment page has since been removed from the studio's website, though this doesn't necessarily mean the game was canceled. It might have been shelved for future development.
Monolith Soft's reputation for pushing boundaries is well-established, with the Xenoblade Chronicles series showcasing their ability to maximize hardware potential. Their contribution to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild further cements their status as innovators in the industry.
As for the "new RPG," details are still scarce, but the anticipation among fans is palpable. Given Monolith Soft's track record, many believe this could be their most ambitious project to date. Some even speculate it might be a launch title for the rumored Nintendo Switch successor.
