Monolith Soft's upcoming Wii U JRPG might not have a title just yet, but based on the game's mech-filled trailer, it's undoubtedly a new entry in the Xeno franchise. There's no word yet on any sort of release date, and we're hoping we won't have to fight to see a Western release as we did for Xenoblade Chronicles.
So, what do we know about the unnamed game? Well, lots of things, actually, the most important of them being that it might be an MMO. After rewatching the trailer several times, GamesRadar has highlighted every last interesting detail they could find. Here's what they have come up with...
Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft reflects on the past and future, talking about quality and striving for more.
Love their games. I wish they had more power to work with as they create awesome worlds but are limited by handheld specs. Hopefully Switch 2 upscaling can work some miracles with the lower end specs and gives the immersion that this world should have.
I'm looking forward to seeing more on what they'll do for Switch 2. Longs they maintain their standard and they have done it for
years.
Hope for Xenosaga 1-3 remaster one day whether they do it or not. They did it with Baiten Kaios.
i would love to play the xenoblade games, as im a big fan of the xeno series in general, but damn.
the anime style character looks and the mmo approach/inspiration the combat is not my cup of tea at all.
Nintendo Life: "If our hopes of some Monolith Soft Switch 2 goodness weren't already high enough, today, they reached a new peak as we learned that the team has added a fresh cutscene director to its ranks with a pretty beefy portfolio to his name."
Nintendo has finally acquired the remaining 4% of Monolith Soft's shares, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
One of the best Nintendo first party developers who can squeeze most out of Nintendo platforms.
It si quite a feat that they managed to improve the graphics on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in comparison to 2 as Digital Foundry pointed out in their tech review.
It would look so much better with some decent power. When your characters were in a closeup they became very blurry, the ground looked like PS2 graphics. That’s not on Monolith though. Hopefully the Switch 2 is considerably more powerful but I’m not sure it will be
Most likely it will be.
But also very likely DLSS or some proprietary variant will handle the heavy lifting on visuals.
Dedicated hardware-based ray tracing and a decent CPU should be a good starting point.
I enjoyed playing XC3 more than Tales of Arise on my PS5. So graphics are not everything.
Imagine if Nintendo made a Next Gen Console stronger than the Series or PS5. They would completely crush the competition. I’m not a Nintendo fanboy in the slightest but let’s be real here, the only thing stopping Nintendo from world domination is the lack of power.
An MMO...?
Well, as long as it can be played off line, doesn't require a subscription.
That was a great breakdown analysis. There was quite alot going on in the video and some stuff I missed, like the aerial attacks and the Mech name "Doll". I cant wait, this game is going to be really amazing. Now all we need is to find out what Retro and Mistwalker are working on and the hype train will be in full effect.
"Everything we know about Monolith Soft's Wii U JRPG"
It looks friggin amazing!!!.
Seriously though we know very little atm, but I think we can all agree if its anything like Xenoblade chronicles it's going to be awesome.
Looks more like Monster Hunter than an MMO to me. Hopefully its the former because i dont think that people want an MMO thats plagued with micro transactions or subscription fees.
Whats impressive about the video is the draw distance i never seen anything like that on the last generation of consoles.
i knew i recgonized the style of music on the trailer
hiroyuki sawano made the OST of team medical dragon, which is awesome!
