So, just the brand image of Monoloft. So, just the brand image of Monoloft. So, just putting that out there. Let me know what putting that out there. Let me know what putting that out there. Let me know what you guys think. [laughter] Over the you guys think. [laughter] Over the you guys think. [laughter] Over the course of 2018, we got more updates from course of 2018, we got more updates from course of 2018, we got more updates from Model Soft that were that they were Model Soft that were that they were Model Soft that were that they were continuing to hire for this project continuing to hire for this project continuing to hire for this project using the same kind of branding and using the same kind of branding and using the same kind of branding and imagery. Well, you might ask, well, imagery. Well, you might ask, well, imagery. Well, you might ask, well, Nishko, couldn't this have been for Nishko, couldn't this have been for Nishko, couldn't this have been for Xenolade 3 or even Tears of the Kingdom? Xenolade 3 or even Tears of the Kingdom? Xenolade 3 or even Tears of the Kingdom? That girl looks awfully like Zelda, so That girl looks awfully like Zelda, so That girl looks awfully like Zelda, so it has to be Tears of the Kingdom, it has to be Tears of the Kingdom, it has to be Tears of the Kingdom, right? Or something Zelda related. Well, right? Or something Zelda related. Well, right? Or something Zelda related. Well, if I'm not mistaken, they usually have if I'm not mistaken, they usually have if I'm not mistaken, they usually have separate hiring pages for their Kyoto separate hiring pages for their Kyoto separate hiring pages for their Kyoto division teams and positions for their division teams and positions for their division teams and positions for their support teams who also work on games support teams who also work on games support teams who also work on games like Zelda, Animal Crossing, and like Zelda, Animal Crossing, and like Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon. So, I don't know if it would Splatoon. So, I don't know if it would Splatoon. So, I don't know if it would be related to this one in particular.
-
be related to this one in particular. be related to this one in particular. And if it was Xenolade 3, then I'm not And if it was Xenolade 3, then I'm not And if it was Xenolade 3, then I'm not too sure. I feel like they would have too sure. I feel like they would have too sure. I feel like they would have advertised it similar to how Takahashi advertised it similar to how Takahashi advertised it similar to how Takahashi is advertising his new RPG right now or is advertising his new RPG right now or is advertising his new RPG right now or even last year which is coming soon or even last year which is coming soon or even last year which is coming soon or maybe even later. Like I I think that maybe even later. Like I I think that maybe even later. Like I I think that Xenolade 4 soon meaning like 2030. I Xenolade 4 soon meaning like 2030. I Xenolade 4 soon meaning like 2030. I don't know. Take what I say with a grain don't know. Take what I say with a grain don't know. Take what I say with a grain of salt. I I don't even know what I'm of salt. I I don't even know what I'm of salt. I I don't even know what I'm talking about. But we'll we'll get to talking about. But we'll we'll get to talking about. But we'll we'll get to that a little bit later. I need to dig that a little bit later. I need to dig that a little bit later. I need to dig more into which specific team within more into which specific team within more into which specific team within Monoloft could be working on this game Monoloft could be working on this game Monoloft could be working on this game and what they have previously done and what they have previously done and what they have previously done before as well. So, here's some before as well. So, here's some before as well. So, here's some perspective on the size of Monoloft as a perspective on the size of Monoloft as a perspective on the size of Monoloft as a company and how many devs could be company and how many devs could be company and how many devs could be potentially be working on this. Here's potentially be working on this. Here's potentially be working on this. Here's what I could find about the headcount of what I could find about the headcount of what I could find about the headcount of Monooft employees over the years. And Monooft employees over the years. And Monooft employees over the years. And the sources for this will all be posted the sources for this will all be posted the sources for this will all be posted in the description down below as well as in the description down below as well as in the description down below as well as in a lower third in the video somewhere. in a lower third in the video somewhere. in a lower third in the video somewhere. So, just be on the lookout for that. So, So, just be on the lookout for that. So, So, just be on the lookout for that. So, as of December 2017, they had 150 as of December 2017, they had 150 as of December 2017, they had 150 employees. And if you guys remember, employees. And if you guys remember, employees. And if you guys remember, like a whole bunch of those people were like a whole bunch of those people were like a whole bunch of those people were like stolen away for Breath of the Wild like stolen away for Breath of the Wild like stolen away for Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. So, they had to and Splatoon 2. So, they had to and Splatoon 2. So, they had to outsource a whole lot of work for outsource a whole lot of work for outsource a whole lot of work for Xenolade 2. And then April 2018, as of Xenolade 2. And then April 2018, as of Xenolade 2. And then April 2018, as of then, they had 163 employees. August then, they had 163 employees. August then, they had 163 employees. August 2018 bumped up to 171.
-
2018 bumped up to 171. 2018 bumped up to 171. And that was around the time of Xenolade And that was around the time of Xenolade And that was around the time of Xenolade 2, pre-Torn of the Golden Country. So 2, pre-Torn of the Golden Country. So 2, pre-Torn of the Golden Country. So after Tour of the Golden Country, after Tour of the Golden Country, after Tour of the Golden Country, November 2018, they bumped up to 184. November 2018, they bumped up to 184. November 2018, they bumped up to 184. January 2019, January 2019, January 2019, 193, April 2019, 209. June 2019, 215. 193, April 2019, 209. June 2019, 215. 193, April 2019, 209. June 2019, 215. September 2019, 224. September 2019, 224. September 2019, 224. December 2019, 236. April 2020 248 December 2019, 236. April 2020 248 December 2019, 236. April 2020 248 and that's all before Xenolade and that's all before Xenolade and that's all before Xenolade Chronicles definitive edition. So after Chronicles definitive edition. So after Chronicles definitive edition. So after May 2020 when Xenolade definitive May 2020 when Xenolade definitive May 2020 when Xenolade definitive edition came out in August 2020 they edition came out in August 2020 they edition came out in August 2020 they reported 254 December 2020 261 and April reported 254 December 2020 261 and April reported 254 December 2020 261 and April 2021 272. 2021 272. 2021 272. And this is where it gets um a little um And this is where it gets um a little um And this is where it gets um a little um interesting. So, Xenolade Chronicles 3 interesting. So, Xenolade Chronicles 3 interesting. So, Xenolade Chronicles 3 released in July 2022, and December released in July 2022, and December released in July 2022, and December 2022, they reported a little bit of a 2022, they reported a little bit of a 2022, they reported a little bit of a dip of 264 employees. And then December dip of 264 employees. And then December dip of 264 employees. And then December 2024 was their most recent update where 2024 was their most recent update where 2024 was their most recent update where they're at just shy of 300, 299 they're at just shy of 300, 299 they're at just shy of 300, 299 employees. So, there's a lot of hiring employees. So, there's a lot of hiring employees. So, there's a lot of hiring going on here. And we can see a little going on here. And we can see a little going on here. And we can see a little bit of a dip from 2021 to 2022 to 2023 bit of a dip from 2021 to 2022 to 2023 bit of a dip from 2021 to 2022 to 2023 and 2024, but that's probably just some and 2024, but that's probably just some and 2024, but that's probably just some restructuring, maybe even some devs restructuring, maybe even some devs restructuring, maybe even some devs finding work at other studios or other finding work at other studios or other finding work at other studios or other companies or something like that. I'm companies or something like that. I'm companies or something like that. I'm not entirely sure. The main takeaway is
-
not entirely sure. The main takeaway is not entirely sure. The main takeaway is that this company is growing that this company is growing that this company is growing exponentially and they're at about maybe exponentially and they're at about maybe exponentially and they're at about maybe like give or take 300 strong and like give or take 300 strong and like give or take 300 strong and dedicated developers as of December dedicated developers as of December dedicated developers as of December 2024. And I guess uh we can just pop in 2024. And I guess uh we can just pop in 2024. And I guess uh we can just pop in Monopon as the 300th employee because Monopon as the 300th employee because Monopon as the 300th employee because they're still at 299. So in my mind with they're still at 299. So in my mind with they're still at 299. So in my mind with Monopon they're 300. So anyways, another Monopon they're 300. So anyways, another Monopon they're 300. So anyways, another thing to note is that as of July 2025, thing to note is that as of July 2025, thing to note is that as of July 2025, Monusoft reported an impressive 19% Monusoft reported an impressive 19% Monusoft reported an impressive 19% profit increase for the financial year profit increase for the financial year profit increase for the financial year ending in 2025. Despite this increase, ending in 2025. Despite this increase, ending in 2025. Despite this increase, this actually isn't the best performance this actually isn't the best performance this actually isn't the best performance that Monoloft had in one fiscal year that Monoloft had in one fiscal year that Monoloft had in one fiscal year period. Monooft's peak performance came period. Monooft's peak performance came period. Monooft's peak performance came in 2021 during which it achieved nearly in 2021 during which it achieved nearly in 2021 during which it achieved nearly 1,200 million yen in profit. more 1,200 million yen in profit. more 1,200 million yen in profit. more revenue and more profit will naturally revenue and more profit will naturally revenue and more profit will naturally lead to more projects and games in lead to more projects and games in lead to more projects and games in development and hopefully allowing the development and hopefully allowing the development and hopefully allowing the developers to take more risks with these developers to take more risks with these developers to take more risks with these projects and doing things outside of projects and doing things outside of projects and doing things outside of their comfort zone like maybe even a new their comfort zone like maybe even a new their comfort zone like maybe even a new IP. [laughter] IP. [laughter] IP. [laughter] The main takeaway for all of this is The main takeaway for all of this is The main takeaway for all of this is that after Xenolade 2 and of the Golden that after Xenolade 2 and of the Golden that after Xenolade 2 and of the Golden Country, they've been gradually growing Country, they've been gradually growing Country, they've been gradually growing and hiring more and more talented and hiring more and more talented and hiring more and more talented people. And with the success of Xenolade people. And with the success of Xenolade people. And with the success of Xenolade 3, they basically doubled in size from 3, they basically doubled in size from 3, they basically doubled in size from when they started off at Xenolade 2 in when they started off at Xenolade 2 in when they started off at Xenolade 2 in the Switch era. My point is that so many the Switch era. My point is that so many the Switch era. My point is that so many different projects could be cooking different projects could be cooking different projects could be cooking under the roof of Model Soft right now under the roof of Model Soft right now under the roof of Model Soft right now and can be in production at the same and can be in production at the same and can be in production at the same time. Sure, Takahashi is probably doing

Right now, it does seem as though Takahashi and it does seem as though Takahashi and it does seem as though Takahashi and First Production team are currently First Production team are currently First Production team are currently working on and hiring for a new RPG, not working on and hiring for a new RPG, not working on and hiring for a new RPG, not to be confused with Legacy, which is in to be confused with Legacy, which is in to be confused with Legacy, which is in my mind a new IP. Anyways, Monoft also my mind a new IP. Anyways, Monoft also my mind a new IP. Anyways, Monoft also has has a second production team that has has a second production team that has has a second production team that works on support/largecale works on support/largecale works on support/largecale action/openworld action/openworld action/openworld projects, notably supporting Nintendo projects, notably supporting Nintendo projects, notably supporting Nintendo EPD on The Legend of Zelda titles. So, EPD on The Legend of Zelda titles. So, EPD on The Legend of Zelda titles. So, this is the team that worked on Breath this is the team that worked on Breath this is the team that worked on Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

I'll get back to this a little later, I'll get back to this a little later, I'll get back to this a little later, but it seems as though this Zelda but it seems as though this Zelda but it seems as though this Zelda dedicated production team is entirely dedicated production team is entirely dedicated production team is entirely separate from anything else, and that separate from anything else, and that separate from anything else, and that includes how they hire new devs. It was includes how they hire new devs. It was includes how they hire new devs. It was a really long time back now, but I can a really long time back now, but I can a really long time back now, but I can swear that there was an entirely swear that there was an entirely swear that there was an entirely separate Zelda team hiring page, separate Zelda team hiring page, separate Zelda team hiring page, separate from the legacy hiring page on separate from the legacy hiring page on separate from the legacy hiring page on Monooft's website. I can look back at Monooft's website. I can look back at Monooft's website. I can look back at the Wayback Machine and see if that is the Wayback Machine and see if that is the Wayback Machine and see if that is still there, but I you guys got to trust still there, but I you guys got to trust still there, but I you guys got to trust me on this. But [laughter] that's just me on this. But [laughter] that's just me on this. But [laughter] that's just from my memory. Even this post from from my memory. Even this post from from my memory. Even this post from Reset Era backs me up. You guys can Reset Era backs me up. You guys can Reset Era backs me up. You guys can choose to believe me or not, but that's choose to believe me or not, but that's choose to believe me or not, but that's just what I remember and that's what just what I remember and that's what just what I remember and that's what this post says. Anyways, back to the this post says. Anyways, back to the this post says. Anyways, back to the teams behind Monoloft. Kyoto Studio teams behind Monoloft. Kyoto Studio teams behind Monoloft. Kyoto Studio branch office is the smaller studio branch office is the smaller studio branch office is the smaller studio which does support work on games like which does support work on games like which does support work on games like Splatoon, Animal Crossing and additional Splatoon, Animal Crossing and additional Splatoon, Animal Crossing and additional development in any sort of capacity. development in any sort of capacity. development in any sort of capacity. This is their Nintendocentric division This is their Nintendocentric division This is their Nintendocentric division that works on Animal Crossing, Splatoon that works on Animal Crossing, Splatoon that works on Animal Crossing, Splatoon and most recently probably Mario Kart and most recently probably Mario Kart and most recently probably Mario Kart World. The final team is also the newest World. The final team is also the newest World. The final team is also the newest to form within monoloft and it is their to form within monoloft and it is their to form within monoloft and it is their R&D division which works on game R&D division which works on game R&D division which works on game engine/tools engine/tools engine/tools and research and development and and research and development and and research and development and advanced tech. And this team is led at advanced tech. And this team is led at advanced tech. And this team is led at the time of reporting by senior monoloft the time of reporting by senior monoloft the time of reporting by senior monoloft staff with Xenolade/R&D staff with Xenolade/R&D staff with Xenolade/R&D ties. Something to note is Monolasoft ties. Something to note is Monolasoft ties. Something to note is Monolasoft does not publish a fully public org does not publish a fully public org does not publish a fully public org chart or anything with any internal

It seems that press coverage plus that. It seems that press coverage plus that. It seems that press coverage plus the official recruitment pages on top of the official recruitment pages on top of the official recruitment pages on top of that credits on their ship games or the that credits on their ship games or the that credits on their ship games or the sources that fans and journalists use to sources that fans and journalists use to sources that fans and journalists use to figure out which teams are doing which figure out which teams are doing which figure out which teams are doing which jobs. So, while it's fine to say that jobs. So, while it's fine to say that jobs. So, while it's fine to say that first production team does Xenolade and first production team does Xenolade and first production team does Xenolade and second production team does Zelda, some second production team does Zelda, some second production team does Zelda, some smaller internal splits and support smaller internal splits and support smaller internal splits and support groups may not always be documented in groups may not always be documented in groups may not always be documented in public documents, interviews, or press public documents, interviews, or press public documents, interviews, or press releases. So, after all of that analysis releases. So, after all of that analysis releases. So, after all of that analysis and digging, my conclusion is twofold. and digging, my conclusion is twofold. and digging, my conclusion is twofold. If this new IP exists, it could be If this new IP exists, it could be If this new IP exists, it could be developed by either of two studios. I developed by either of two studios. I developed by either of two studios. I think the Kyoto support studio is think the Kyoto support studio is think the Kyoto support studio is totally out of the question because totally out of the question because totally out of the question because they're probably busy with other games they're probably busy with other games they're probably busy with other games on the way. Maybe a new Mario, a new on the way. Maybe a new Mario, a new on the way. Maybe a new Mario, a new Zelda, an Animal Crossing, or a Splatoon Zelda, an Animal Crossing, or a Splatoon Zelda, an Animal Crossing, or a Splatoon for the Switch, too. The R&D team is for the Switch, too. The R&D team is for the Switch, too. The R&D team is also out of the question, too. I don't also out of the question, too. I don't also out of the question, too. I don't think they really work on dedicated think they really work on dedicated think they really work on dedicated games, but just in general, they just games, but just in general, they just games, but just in general, they just work on tech systems, game engines, etc.

work on tech systems, game engines, etc. work on tech systems, game engines, etc. And they're also relatively new since And they're also relatively new since And they're also relatively new since the new engine they are starting to the new engine they are starting to the new engine they are starting to employ hasn't even been seen in a new employ hasn't even been seen in a new employ hasn't even been seen in a new Monoloft game yet. And they were talking Monoloft game yet. And they were talking Monoloft game yet. And they were talking about it as early as like mid 2024 if I about it as early as like mid 2024 if I about it as early as like mid 2024 if I remember correctly. remember correctly. remember correctly. My guess is that it could either be My guess is that it could either be My guess is that it could either be production team one or two. But you production team one or two. But you production team one or two. But you might say, Nishquake, they do Xenolade might say, Nishquake, they do Xenolade might say, Nishquake, they do Xenolade and Zelda respectively. And yeah, I and Zelda respectively. And yeah, I and Zelda respectively. And yeah, I agree. Like I mentioned this before, but agree. Like I mentioned this before, but agree. Like I mentioned this before, but what is Team 2 doing after Tears of the what is Team 2 doing after Tears of the what is Team 2 doing after Tears of the Kingdom or what have they been doing? Kingdom or what have they been doing? Kingdom or what have they been doing? And was that the only project that they And was that the only project that they And was that the only project that they were working on during the whole uh were working on during the whole uh were working on during the whole uh Breath of the Wild 2 sequel to Breath of Breath of the Wild 2 sequel to Breath of Breath of the Wild 2 sequel to Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom pipeline the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom pipeline the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom pipeline project and all that? Yeah, the hiring project and all that? Yeah, the hiring project and all that? Yeah, the hiring post were separated from the fantasy post were separated from the fantasy post were separated from the fantasy project legacy and Tears of the project legacy and Tears of the project legacy and Tears of the Kingdom/Zelda. Kingdom/Zelda. Kingdom/Zelda. But maybe these games could have been in But maybe these games could have been in But maybe these games could have been in development and have been happening at development and have been happening at development and have been happening at the exact same time within the same the exact same time within the same the exact same time within the same production division. I don't know. And production division. I don't know. And production division. I don't know. And as for Production Team 1, they're known as for Production Team 1, they're known as for Production Team 1, they're known to work on many projects at once. And it to work on many projects at once.

So, to give you guys projects as well. So, to give you guys projects as well. So, to give you guys some perspective, Xenolade Chronicles 3 some perspective, Xenolade Chronicles 3 some perspective, Xenolade Chronicles 3 art and some of the production dates all art and some of the production dates all art and some of the production dates all the way back to like 2019. And I'm sure the way back to like 2019. And I'm sure the way back to like 2019. And I'm sure even earlier iterations of even earlier iterations of even earlier iterations of pre-production and art were being done

pre-production and art were being done pre-production and art were being done even before all of that. Takahashi even before all of that. Takahashi even before all of that. Takahashi himself said that the earliest concepts himself said that the earliest concepts himself said that the earliest concepts of Xenolade 3 started shortly after of Xenolade 3 started shortly after of Xenolade 3 started shortly after Xenolade 2 released in December 2017. Xenolade 2 released in December 2017. Xenolade 2 released in December 2017. And just look at their output, guys. And just look at their output, guys. And just look at their output, guys. Torn of the Golden Country shortly after Torn of the Golden Country shortly after Torn of the Golden Country shortly after Xenolade 2 and Xenolade Chronicles won Xenolade 2 and Xenolade Chronicles won Xenolade 2 and Xenolade Chronicles won DE literally two years after that.

But the question is how many sub teams are there question is how many sub teams are there question is how many sub teams are there and how many projects are being worked and how many projects are being worked and how many projects are being worked on at the same time? Well, who knows? on at the same time? Well, who knows? on at the same time? Well, who knows? But I'm hoping that a small team of But I'm hoping that a small team of But I'm hoping that a small team of young ragtag devs within Monolithoft are young ragtag devs within Monolithoft are young ragtag devs within Monolithoft are working hard at this behind the shadows working hard at this behind the shadows working hard at this behind the shadows of the Xenolade Chronicles trilogy. And of the Xenolade Chronicles trilogy. And of the Xenolade Chronicles trilogy. And we just got to wait and see. I just want we just got to wait and see. I just want we just got to wait and see. I just want to make one thing clear though. I do not to make one thing clear though. I do not to make one thing clear though. I do not think that this is going to be related think that this is going to be related think that this is going to be related in any way to Zeno or Xenolade. And I do in any way to Zeno or Xenolade.

And I do not think that Tessu Takahashi will be not think that Tessu Takahashi will be not think that Tessu Takahashi will be directly involved in this title either.

directly involved in this title either. directly involved in this title either. If you guys remember sometime in last If you guys remember sometime in last If you guys remember sometime in last August in like 2024, Takahashi himself August in like 2024, Takahashi himself August in like 2024, Takahashi himself was recruiting for what he described as was recruiting for what he described as was recruiting for what he described as a new RPG from Monoloft Team 1, which I a new RPG from Monoloft Team 1, which I a new RPG from Monoloft Team 1, which I believe is completely separate from believe is completely separate from believe is completely separate from Legacy/ the new IP that I feel is coming Legacy/ the new IP that I feel is coming Legacy/ the new IP that I feel is coming possibly even sooner. And I feel like possibly even sooner. And I feel like possibly even sooner. And I feel like Takahashi's new RPG will most likely be Takahashi's new RPG will most likely be Takahashi's new RPG will most likely be the follow-up to Xenolade 3 and Xenolade the follow-up to Xenolade 3 and Xenolade the follow-up to Xenolade 3 and Xenolade Chronicles XDE. legacy could be Chronicles XDE. legacy could be Chronicles XDE. legacy could be developed and spearheaded by new and developed and spearheaded by new and developed and spearheaded by new and younger developers within Monoloft or younger developers within Monoloft or younger developers within Monoloft or people who were working on other people who were working on other people who were working on other Xenolade games from Team 1 with Xenolade games from Team 1 with Xenolade games from Team 1 with Takahashi but moved on and transitioned Takahashi but moved on and transitioned Takahashi but moved on and transitioned over to this game. Monoloft has teams over to this game. Monoloft has teams over to this game. Monoloft has teams and developers that could be working on and developers that could be working on and developers that could be working on this for a while now. Their output is this for a while now. Their output is this for a while now. Their output is immense and there's no team that is left immense and there's no team that is left immense and there's no team that is left idle in between games. Also, one thing I idle in between games. Also, one thing I idle in between games. Also, one thing I want to remind you guys is that many want to remind you guys is that many want to remind you guys is that many Switch 2 games we are playing right now Switch 2 games we are playing right now Switch 2 games we are playing right now started off as Switch One games in started off as Switch One games in started off as Switch One games in development. I think that goes for development. I think that goes for development. I think that goes for almost every single first party game almost every single first party game almost every single first party game we've seen, barring maybe a few. Mario we've seen, barring maybe a few. Mario we've seen, barring maybe a few. Mario Kart definitely was. They mentioned that Kart definitely was. They mentioned that Kart definitely was. They mentioned that in their interviews. DK Bonanza in their interviews. DK Bonanza in their interviews. DK Bonanza definitely was, and many are also definitely was, and many are also definitely was, and many are also cross-platform, like Metroid Prime 4 and cross-platform, like Metroid Prime 4 and cross-platform, like Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends ZA. I would honestly not Pokemon Legends ZA. I would honestly not Pokemon Legends ZA. I would honestly not be surprised if this game started off be surprised if this game started off be surprised if this game started off development on the Switch One. And development on the Switch One. And development on the Switch One. And because Monooft demanded more power and because Monooft demanded more power and because Monooft demanded more power and resources, they easily transitioned over resources, they easily transitioned over resources, they easily transitioned over to the Switch 2. And of course, they got to the Switch 2. And of course, they got to the Switch 2. And of course, they got first dibs on the dev kits because first dibs on the dev kits because first dibs on the dev kits because they're first party Nintendo. So, after

they're first party Nintendo. So, after they're first party Nintendo. So, after all this information and speculation, I all this information and speculation, I all this information and speculation, I have one final bit of evidence I want to have one final bit of evidence I want to have one final bit of evidence I want to share about this project. You guys might share about this project. You guys might share about this project. You guys might have already made up your mind on this, have already made up your mind on this, have already made up your mind on this, but maybe this might sway you otherwise. but maybe this might sway you otherwise. but maybe this might sway you otherwise. Because whenever my friends deny this Because whenever my friends deny this Because whenever my friends deny this whole new IP thing, I hit them with this whole new IP thing, I hit them with this whole new IP thing, I hit them with this and then they fall silent. [laughter] So and then they fall silent. [laughter] So and then they fall silent. [laughter] So now we can finally talk about what now we can finally talk about what now we can finally talk about what Project Legacy, that name, what that Project Legacy, that name, what that Project Legacy, that name, what that whole legacy name means. So [snorts] you whole legacy name means. So [snorts] you whole legacy name means. So [snorts] you guys remember last year a bunch of guys remember last year a bunch of guys remember last year a bunch of Nintendo first party code names for soon Nintendo first party code names for soon Nintendo first party code names for soon to be announced games were leaked. how to be announced games were leaked. how to be announced games were leaked. how they were leaked. I won't go into detail they were leaked. I won't go into detail they were leaked. I won't go into detail here, but you guys might either remember here, but you guys might either remember here, but you guys might either remember that whole debacle or can easily look up that whole debacle or can easily look up that whole debacle or can easily look up the history on that. Better yet, the history on that. Better yet, the history on that. Better yet, actually check out some of Andres actually check out some of Andres actually check out some of Andres restarts 2024 uploads. My guy was really restarts 2024 uploads. My guy was really restarts 2024 uploads. My guy was really on top of a lot of that stuff last year, on top of a lot of that stuff last year, on top of a lot of that stuff last year, so check those out. Basically, some of so check those out. Basically, some of so check those out. Basically, some of these code names are straight up these code names are straight up these code names are straight up confirmed to be real games, such as confirmed to be real games, such as confirmed to be real games, such as banquet being for Super Mario Party banquet being for Super Mario Party banquet being for Super Mario Party Jamberee, Edward being for Legend of Jamberee, Edward being for Legend of Jamberee, Edward being for Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. And it is highly Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. And it is highly Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. And it is highly rumored and basically confirmed that the rumored and basically confirmed that the rumored and basically confirmed that the code name for Spiral will be the code name for Spiral will be the code name for Spiral will be the upcoming game Splatoon Raiders on Switch upcoming game Splatoon Raiders on Switch upcoming game Splatoon Raiders on Switch 2, which takes place on the Spiralite 2, which takes place on the Spiralite 2, which takes place on the Spiralite Islands. Wow, what a coincidence. Among Islands. Wow, what a coincidence. Among Islands. Wow, what a coincidence. Among these leaked code names was one these leaked code names was one these leaked code names was one mysterious code name which was called mysterious code name which was called mysterious code name which was called Legacy [snorts] and was said to be Legacy [snorts] and was said to be Legacy [snorts] and was said to be developed by none other than Monoloft.

Most of these projects are either very close to being projects are either very close to being projects are either very close to being announced/released announced/released announced/released or have already been released. So, this or have already been released. So, this or have already been released. So, this just might be right around the corner. just might be right around the corner. just might be right around the corner. Honestly, let's eliminate some stuff Honestly, let's eliminate some stuff Honestly, let's eliminate some stuff first. Um, this is not Xenolade first. Um, this is not Xenolade first.

Xenolade Chronicles X on the Wii U was Xenolade Chronicles X on the Wii U was Xenolade Chronicles X on the Wii U was cenamed Space Travel and DE is most cenamed Space Travel and DE is most cenamed Space Travel and DE is most likely Space Travel S because for many likely Space Travel S because for many likely Space Travel S because for many Model Soft remasters, we'll look into Model Soft remasters, we'll look into Model Soft remasters, we'll look into some later, but it's usually the same some later, but it's usually the same some later, but it's usually the same code name with an S. I think I was on code name with an S. I think I was on code name with an S. I think I was on Andress Restart's podcast and we kind of Andress Restart's podcast and we kind of Andress Restart's podcast and we kind of confirmed that as well. I'll I'll go confirmed that as well. I'll I'll go confirmed that as well. I'll I'll go back and check what we were talking back and check what we were talking back and check what we were talking about, but I I think it is basically about, but I I think it is basically about, but I I think it is basically confirmed that XDE is space travel s. confirmed that XDE is space travel s. confirmed that XDE is space travel s. Similarly, all the numbered Xenolade Similarly, all the numbered Xenolade Similarly, all the numbered Xenolade games are either the Japanese name for games are either the Japanese name for games are either the Japanese name for big folk, which is Kyoshin, or Big Folk big folk, which is Kyoshin, or Big Folk big folk, which is Kyoshin, or Big Folk itself.

Okay, so let me you feel a certain way. Okay, so let me eliminate some other potential ideas as eliminate some other potential ideas as eliminate some other potential ideas as well. Legacy is not going to be Zeno well. Legacy is not going to be Zeno well. Legacy is not going to be Zeno Saga. Don't get excited. Don't get your Saga. Don't get excited. Don't get your Saga. Don't get excited. Don't get your hopes up. Mosoft is not going to be hopes up. Mosoft is not going to be hopes up. Mosoft is not going to be involved in that. I I've said this so involved in that. I I've said this so involved in that. I I've said this so many times. I have an entire video on many times. I have an entire video on many times. I have an entire video on this, guys. Just like get it out of your this, guys. Just like get it out of your this, guys. Just like get it out of your heads. It's not Xeno Saga. It's also not heads. It's not Xeno Saga. It's also not heads. It's not Xeno Saga. It's also not going to be Xenolade 4. I don't think going to be Xenolade 4. I don't think going to be Xenolade 4. I don't think so. You know, the whole idea of like, so. You know, the whole idea of like, so. You know, the whole idea of like, oh, Xenolade 4, the Avengers Endgame of oh, Xenolade 4, the Avengers Endgame of oh, Xenolade 4, the Avengers Endgame of Xenolade or Noah and Shul and Rex and Xenolade or Noah and Shul and Rex and Xenolade or Noah and Shul and Rex and Elma meet up and it's going to be the Elma meet up and it's going to be the Elma meet up and it's going to be the legacy of all the Xenolade games. No, legacy of all the Xenolade games. No, legacy of all the Xenolade games. No, just don't get your hopes up. But just don't get your hopes up. But just don't get your hopes up. But Xenolade 4 being a fresh start for the Xenolade 4 being a fresh start for the Xenolade 4 being a fresh start for the series could lead it to not being called series could lead it to not being called series could lead it to not being called the same big folk or using the same the same big folk or using the same the same big folk or using the same naming conventions as the code names for naming conventions as the code names for naming conventions as the code names for Xenolade 1, 2, and 3. Because yeah, may Xenolade 1, 2, and 3. Because yeah, may Xenolade 1, 2, and 3. Because yeah, may maybe it takes place somewhere else.

maybe it takes place somewhere else. maybe it takes place somewhere else. Maybe it's so far removed from the Maybe it's so far removed from the Maybe it's so far removed from the series. Maybe titans don't exist in the series. Maybe titans don't exist in the series.

I want to finish off with what exactly I think to finish off with what exactly I think to finish off with what exactly I think this game will be and what it may or may this game will be and what it may or may this game will be and what it may or may not play like. I did mention this not play like. I did mention this not play like.

I think this game will we're so used to. I think this game will we're so used to. I think this game will be much more gameplay and exploration be much more gameplay and exploration be much more gameplay and exploration focused like Xenolade Chronicles X much focused like Xenolade Chronicles X much focused like Xenolade Chronicles X much to the chigrin of many people who did to the chigrin of many people who did to the chigrin of many people who did not like that after playing Xenolade 1 2 not like that after playing Xenolade 1 2 not like that after playing Xenolade 1 2 and 3 and then playing Xenolade X this and 3 and then playing Xenolade X this and 3 and then playing Xenolade X this March. Furthermore, I feel like this March. Furthermore, I feel like this March. Furthermore, I feel like this might be a premier title on Switch to to might be a premier title on Switch to to might be a premier title on Switch to to flex Nintendo and Model Soft's flex Nintendo and Model Soft's flex Nintendo and Model Soft's multi-player capabilities. They dipped multi-player capabilities. They dipped multi-player capabilities. They dipped their toes into this during Xenolade X their toes into this during Xenolade X their toes into this during Xenolade X in 2015 on the Wii U, but I think this in 2015 on the Wii U, but I think this in 2015 on the Wii U, but I think this is their chance to go all out. Like, I'm is their chance to go all out. Like, I'm is their chance to go all out. Like, I'm talking co-op adventure where you can talking co-op adventure where you can talking co-op adventure where you can play the main story with your friends play the main story with your friends play the main story with your friends and do a boatload of side content with and do a boatload of side content with and do a boatload of side content with them as well. As crazy as this sounds, them as well. As crazy as this sounds, them as well. As crazy as this sounds, maybe this could even be Nintendo's maybe this could even be Nintendo's maybe this could even be Nintendo's competitor to Final Fantasy 14. It will competitor to Final Fantasy 14. It will competitor to Final Fantasy 14. It will probably come nowhere close to the probably come nowhere close to the probably come nowhere close to the monumental success of Final Fantasy 14, monumental success of Final Fantasy 14, monumental success of Final Fantasy 14, but this could truly be something huge but this could truly be something huge but this could truly be something huge for Model Soft themselves and Nintendo for Model Soft themselves and Nintendo for Model Soft themselves and Nintendo Switch 2 owners who love adventure games Switch 2 owners who love adventure games Switch 2 owners who love adventure games and RPGs. And it would be a massive and RPGs. And it would be a massive and RPGs.

Summary
The main theme is speculation about Monolith Soft's next game, potentially a new fantasy IP referred to as "Project Legacy." Key references include Xenoblade Chronicles and comparisons to Princess Zelda's attire. The practical takeaway is that while Xenoblade 4 is unlikely soon, a new, unannounced project is hinted at with evidence that may or may not be correct.
