Rumor: Monolith Soft Project Codename “Legacy” Reportedly in Development at Nintendo

[John Elden Ring]

Notable leaker Midori has commented that Monolith Soft is reportedly working on a project codenamed “Legacy”. This project is not related to Xenosaga, according to Midori, but it will be interesting to see whether this is Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or something else entirely.

The company currently has over 200 developers, which means it is likely they are working on multiple projects at once. It is expected that their first title for the Nintendo Switch successor will launch next year, possibly a sequel to 2022’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Following the company’s release pattern, they skipped one year entirely and then released a game and DLC the following year. So, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was released in 2022, with Future Redeemed in 2023. This year, we will not receive a Monolith Soft project, leaving 2025 looking like a prime release time.

Monolith has had a TBA "new IP" in development by a seperate team for something like five years now, other than the name this is not news.

Monolith is indeed making a video game.

The code name for that video game is apparently "Legacy".

Earthshattering news.

Every time I read the name Monolithsoft, I can't understand why Sony did reject them in 2008/2009.
Tetsuya (the director) went with his pitch of Xenoblade Chronicles first to Bandia (worked together on Xenosaga) and later to Sony. Why Sony because he was acquainted with Son before (Xenogears for PS1 when he was still at Squaresoft). This is the dumbest decision Sony ever has made in Japan. Xenoblade on PS could have looked way more impressive, then it is currently. Monolithsoft and Xenoblade could have been Playstation property. *sigh...

Nintendo offered them complete creative freedom. I prefer Sony sure but It's a very good thing that they sold to Nintendo.

Has nothing to do with freedom. Sony and Bandai simply rejected his
pitch of Xenoblade. It's worded by Tetsuya in one interview of him.
Nintendo was the third option he talked to.
