Monolith Soft is on the rise! The studio, which has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide with its Xenoblade Chronicles series—and is gearing up for the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition—has reached an impressive headcount of approximately 300 employees. With Nintendo now owning 100% of the company, they are certainly expanding at a rapid pace.
One of the latest additions to their talented roster is Daisuke Honda, who made the exciting leap to Monolith Soft five months ago, stepping in as a freelance cutscene director. Before his move, Daisuke lent his artistic talents at Square Enix, contributing to notable titles such as Kingdom Hearts III, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy XVI. His transition to Monolith Soft has sparked curiosity about what innovative experiences they might be crafting next.
