With Xenoblade Chronicles gold and just waiting to be released in North America and Europe, developer Monolith Soft appears to be doing a big hiring push in its two offices in Tokyo and Kyoto. Here’s a quick list of the positions that the company is seeking to fill, which hints that some big projects could be under way.
Tokyo
- Programmer
- Planner
- 3DCG Designer (Urgent!)
- 2D Designer
- Effect Designer
- Motion Designer
- Project Manager
Kyoto
- 3DCG Designer (Mass Recruitment!)
- Effect Designer
- Motion Designer
These two studios are often working closely with Nintendo. The Tokyo office is the development team responsible for the Xenoblade series, while the Kyoto office is often contracted to help out on various Nintendo projects, including Animal Crossing and the Legend of Zelda. The job listings include the words urgent and mass recruitment, so it’s likely Monolith Soft is working on something big, either for the Wii U or the Nintendo NX.
