Monolith Soft Hiring for New Tetsuya Takahashi Game

Xenoblade Chronicles game developer Monolith Soft is currently hiring staff members for a new RPG led by Tetsuya Takahashi. At the time of writing there are no details about the new title the developers are creating.

Monolith Soft is interested in hiring all kinds of staff, but are looking in eight specific categories. To be specific, it noted it needs 2D designers and artwork staff, 3DCG designers for character models, 3DCG designers for map environments, development environment engineer, field level designer, assistant director, in-game animator, and effect designers. Additionally, the developer is looking for people of all skill levels, from asset development to lead positions.

Director Tetsuya Takahashi described the new game as “a new challenge compared to previous Monolith Soft games.” Takahashi also said that, up to this point, the company has been operating with a relatively small number of people when comparing to the large scale of the games produced by the developers. While the developers are proud of this, Takahashi also said that they can’t say this is the case anymore, considering the current situation within the games industry.

Monolith Soft is a development studio currently owned by Nintendo, and it is the creator of the recent Xenoblade Chronicles series, as well as the Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos series. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the company’s latest title and it is available for the Nintendo Switch.
