This may be a lesser known fact, but Monolith Soft is actually composed of two branches. There’s the Tokyo branch which is for original works such as Xenoblade. The other is the Kyoto branch, [which does support work for other Nintendo titles such as Zelda, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing.](https://www.monolithsoft.co.jp/recruit/production/kyotostudio-about.html)

It’s great seeing Monolith being used as a main studio fo Xenoblade and assisting with other Nintendo IP. They have a lot of talent if Xenoblade is anything to go by.
Hopefully they aren’t being stretched too thin though and have a large enough team working on Xenoblade/new things.

Looks promising, specially it means that Nintendo will have more titles developed by them or sending them to help other studios, specially with the Switch 2 around the corner.

I just hope they’re better able to use Monolith’s other studios to assist with other games so it doesn’t adversely affect the Tokyo team’s original games.
Last thing we need is another Xenoblade 2 situation where they were down to like 40 people or so working on it because Breath of the Wild was taking everyone else (at least from the story I heard).
