One day I'll finish Xenoblade...
Then I'll start 2 again, barely played it... (the terrible localization choices for the Blades' names put me slightly off)
Then I'll buy 3... one day.

I just rewatched some old videos about Monolith Soft. The reason they made Monolith Soft was that they wanted to make new IPs, not just sequels. Hopefully, they get back to it


I don't know how the sales after DLC, but Xenoblade 3 sales are 1.86 million copies as of March 31st, 2023.

Here's a comparison I found

Hasn’t sold poorly at all, but there’s fatigue with the series growing. They need to make consumers miss the series a bit.

Still, I’m excited at what Xenoblade could be on Nintendo’s new console with the additional RAM and CPU speed.

 

[RoadHazard]

Again? Thought definitive edition was quite the graphical update to the wii game.

I thought that was pretty much an HD port, but guess not then!

 

[Quezacolt]

Nope, it was a full graphical overhaul.

Love Xenoblade but it's wrapped up very nicely after 3 and FC.

Xenoblade prequel:

Xeroblade

I'm going with Xenostory

Xenowaifu

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yeah, it's that.

It's been in development since 2017 and was described by Monolith themselves on their official site as "an ambitious project targeting a global audience". It's also the project they've been recruiting action specialists for, so the gameplay will likely be more hack n slash than offline MMO like Xenoblade. I can see it being a huge game for Nintendo, replacing 3D Zelda as the big singleplayer game for experienced players in the Switch 2's launch window.

If true, I’m really excited to see them try action.

Imagine a good action game but with their S tier world building. HOLYYYY shit

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Xenoblade X is the worst Xeno game I've played. Xenosaga Trilogy Remaster would be nice.

I recall in a fairly recent interview Takahashi said something about the Xenoblade "Chronicles" story being complete but the Xenoblade series will continue maybe in another universe.

God I wish Nintendo would just buy the Xenosaga and Xenogears IPs from Namco and SquareEnix and let MonolithSoft good HAM on both of those IPs

Klaus saga is finished, so there is possibility that next Xeno game might not even be called Xenoblade.

[Woopah]

Hopefully a new IP that comes out next year.

BTW all I know whatever MonolithSoft works on next for Switch 2 is gonna to look amazing

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Agreed on that. They're one of the top in-house Nintendo devs, and I'm sure that whenever they release their next title on the Switch 2 it will look great.

Yeah personally I'm hoping for a New JRPG IP

A new IP would be cool, but I'm on board with whatever they want to do next, including a XCX remaster/remake.

I think XCX Remaster is gonna be their last game on Switch

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

We'll see. If it happens it will probably be a cross-gen release. I don't want to speculate too much since there's no reliable rumor right now that they're working on it.

 

[Danjin44]

New IP or Xenoblade it doesn't matter, I'm hyped whatever they make.

 

[Brigandier]

Klaus saga is finished, so there is possibility that next Xeno game might not even be called Xenoblade.

I'm sure he said that the Chronicles storyline was finished, and that the next entry would be a totally new universe or something like that, Either way I'm looking forward to their next Xeno game they are imo the industry leaders in RPG worlds and can't wait to see what they will pull off on better hardware.
