[Career recruitment] We are now recruiting development staff for a new RPG directed by Tetsuya Takahashi. so that’s pretty neat

machine TL of the message yes they’re getting even more ambitious, yes he outright said “we here at Monolith don’t make many games but that’s because everything we do has a large scope and is peak”

this is *LIKELY* still Xenosomething and *LIKELY* already in development, as something similar happened some time before both DE and 3 were revealed; if I were to guess this would be the first non-remake Xenoblade for Switch 2, releasing in 2026 or 2027

(I want to say the “New RPG” thing is virtually identical phrasing to what was used for a recruitment announcement for what ended up being DE)

@Luxin_Xeno if it's this then it's slightly different with the above being 新作 while below is 新規 not sure the nuances beside one meaning a new work while other is just new so maybe that leads credence to an original IP

@RollbackNetcode @Luxin_Xeno 新規 = "new (新) standard (規)" 新作 = "new (新) creation (作)" I guess?
