And assuming that there are 100% sure happening projects just because those job descriptions.also can we stop calling job posting descriptions a rumor
don't think you can map this out probabilistically because hiring doesn't operate similarly between companies. for one studio, the former can be how they do things, for another company, the latter, for a third studio, something completely different.what‘s more probable, that a job description for an action game posted almost six years ago and a more recent one are related and that this supposed game is still in active development and they’re even still hiring for it, or that the old job description is for something that is no longer in active development (I.e. a pitch that was eventually rejected by Nintendo) and maybe they’re trying again with another one that may or may not be approved?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the year 1 RPG like XC2 was. A new major XC game isn't coming out anytime soon and I doubt FE will be ready by then either.Brand new IP’s with large scope can take awhile. This isn’t 1998 anymore. This isn’t 2004 anymore. Covid also messed up everyone. There could’ve been some hang ups during development that slowed Monolith down. Next thing you know Nintendo says “hey take your time because at this point this will be a big showing for Switch 2”. There is an Actjon game by monolith soft in development as shown by them hiring for one.
but you know Engage was just sitting wrapped and ready to go on a shelf for a long time, right?I wouldn't be surprised if it's the year 1 RPG like XC2 was. A new major XC game isn't coming out anytime soon and I doubt FE will be ready by then either.
Yeah, Intelligent Systems have had a little while to get production done on new projects despite Engage only releasing recently. Even WarioWare seemed to be content complete around a year before release, so IS should remain pretty productive; WarioWare and Origami King both probably wrapped up in 2020 and FE Engage was mostly done by summer 2021 (though we can obviously assume polishing and DLC development took time and resources).but you know Engage was just sitting wrapped and ready to go on a shelf for a long time, right?
the recent Nintendo Dream interview confirmed that Engage development was overlapping with Three Houses (as Engage was intended to release for the franchise anniversary in 2020)I also wouldn't rule out another joint IS x KT Fire Emblem game. Maybe IS did Engage and development overlapped with a co-developed KT Fire Emblem.
Right, yeah, I'd forgot about that. But I wonder if IS and KT began anything else in 2020/21 (other than Three Hopes), at which point Three Houses was out, a critical and commercial success, and Engage was still in the works.the recent Nintendo Dream interview confirmed that Engage development was overlapping with Three Houses (as Engage was intended to release for the franchise anniversary in 2020)

One week?!
Not yet sadly, just Noah and Mio amiibos apparently… My hope is that the physical edition will be announced later on like with Metroid Prime…ANY WORD OF A PHYSICAL EDITION??????
if there was a physical, it'd be announced by nowANY WORD OF A PHYSICAL EDITION??????
Alongside Pikmin4The Pyra & Mythra amiibo releases July the 21st.
if there will ever be one, it'll probably be a late release, maybe like the solo print of Bayonetta 1. At least they've announced nothing. Who knows, maybe they'll do a semi-limited MyNintendo Store release or just time it around the release of the Mio and Noah amiiboANY WORD OF A PHYSICAL EDITION??????
We can never know anything for sure until something is announced, but if this new action IP is coming then I would see it releasing within the first year of the new system.With the "Future Redeemed" release, are we all pretty sure that Monolith Soft new action IP game will be a Drake launch window game right?
Let's hope for a Q4 CY23 for the hardware and for Q1 CY24 for the game!
Yes.So could we say there is defo a new project from Monolith
We have no idea when it'll launch, or how development went, or if this is recognisably the same game that had a hiring call back in 2017. We know an action game is in the works, but that's about it.that might launch in the next 18 months?
That’s the only logical reason for a supposed long development time… they saw some potential and changed the target platform mid-dev.I don't want that "action game" to release any soon. Monolith should launch that for Switch 2.
well when the first hiring ads went up, they were deep into XC3 and Zelda, with more Zelda hirings posted afterwards. if anything, I'd say the action game was in the planning stages back then and didn't start in earnest until XC3 was wrapping upThat’s the only logical reason for a supposed long development time… they saw some potential and changed the target platform mid-dev.
I don’t believe that’s the case as Production team 1 (XC3) will probably start next Xeno- game or at least a port of XCX (if that’s not already work in progress with a sub team from team 1).well when the first hiring ads went up, they were deep into XC3 and Zelda, with more Zelda hirings posted afterwards. if anything, I'd say the action game was in the planning stages back then and didn't start in earnest until XC3 was wrapping up
Xenoblade 3, a game built off of established systems and with judicious asset reuse of environments and enemies, took four years to release following TTGC. How long do you think Monolith Soft needs for a game of a different genre that wouldn't use recognizable Xenoblade assets?That’s the only logical reason for a supposed long development time… they saw some potential and changed the target platform mid-dev.
In the end, they’ll be just remaking Disaster Day of Crisis and it’ll be both hilarious and amazingXenoblade 3, a game built off of established systems and with judicious asset reuse of environments and enemies, took four years to release following TTGC.

Not that it necessarily relates to Monolith, but maybe...
If they're gonna remake it, cut out the light gun parts and make them a proper tpsDisaster Day of Crisis is actually great! I love the light-gun style shoot-out parts. The story is pretty funny too. If Monolith somehow against all odds is making a sequel, I'd pick it up on a heartbeat.
The only real flaw the game has is that the motion control driving parts are terrible! Cut those out (or at least revamp the controls) and it would be perfect.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Redeemed credits (no voice actors/localization/cutscene/music production)
Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed - Kyoto Report
kyoto-report.wikidot.com
Directors were Masahiro Iwamoto from Monolith and Yuki Sakamoto from EPD. As was already known, series director Koh Kojima was not involved (even as a producer) and has only received a Special Thanks credit alongside Shigekazu Yamada (Xenoblade DE Producer/Planning Lead). Koji Hayashi has seemingly been promoted to producer.
Some other notable staff absences from the base game include Mamoru Ohta (Scenario/Cinematics), Makoto Shimamoto (Planner), Yuichiro Sumita (Planner), and Kanae Nakayama (Planner). There are probably more.
Not much till zelda totk releases and we can compare credits I imagine.I wonder what we could make of this
“Soon” is relative, admittedly. I don’t think this action game is gonna come out on Switch 1 unless Nintendo is really, really stupid (and seeing how they haven’t released Stinky Horse yet, they’re probably not that dumb). I’m expecting it in like, Year 1 or maybe 2 of Redacted, which assuming a Q4 FY2023 release for Redacted would position it sometime in 2024 or 2025. IMO that’s soon enough, but we’ll just have to wait and see.I don't want that "action game" to release any soon. Monolith should launch that for Switch 2.
