Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft is hiring for a new RPG - leaving some fans to worry what happened to the action game it announced 7 years ago
Where i♔s the knight game? Is it safe? Is it alright?

Xenoblade Chronicles' series director is hiring for a new RPG, but Monolith Soft fans are wondering what happened to the studio'🐬s p𒁃reviously-announced action game.
As first reported by , Tetsuya Takahashi, studio founder and executive director on the Xenoblade Chronicles seriesꩵ, posted on Monolith Soft's to reveal he was on the hunt for staff to work on a new RPG. Takahashi couldn't go into much detail on the game itself, but stated that it would providಞe new challenges compared to past Monolith Soft games.
At the time of writing, Monolith Soft is on the hunt for a 2D staff designer, a 3D CG character designer, a 3D CD map designer, a development environment engineer, a field level designer, an assistant director, an in-game animator, and an effects designer. All of these n📖ew roles will work under Takahashi on the studio's forthcoming RPG.
You can probably imagine how Xenoblade fans will react to this news. Even if a new Xenoblade game hasn't been directly confirmed in the job listings, the role of 'field designer' in particular will likely give fans a lot of hope for a new entry in the Xenoblade series. Takahashi said in 2022 that Xenoblade𝔍 Chronicles 3 would be💖 a "stopping point" for the series, but not the end.
However, this new announcement has some Monolith Soft fans wondering what happened to ওthe studio's new IP, announced in 2017. As reported by , the new action game was announced in the tweet below, with concept art showing a female knight character, but we've heard nothin🌳g more of the game whatsoever since 2017, which was before Xenoblade Chronicles 2 even released.

It's worth pointing out that the original recruitment pages for the action game have since been deleted from Monolith Soft's website. This doesn't mean the game has been cꦦanceled by any means, as the studio could've simply taken the pages down once the roles were filled, but it's still causing some to speculate about the fate of the game.
Just earlier this year, Takahashi said in a Monolith Soft company brochure that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:itsꩵ "ai🅺m for higher quality will never change," despite the fact that the studio has already made some of the greatest RPGs ever. Whatever the developer's next gamꦗe is, it's clearly still intent on pushing itself further after Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its DLC marked 🥃a fantastic conclusion to the series.
