not xenoblade you will see

I don't think so. Name recognition is the single most important aspect of branding/marketing. Monolith is basically Nintendo's bitch, so they don't have much say in what comes next.

And brand recognition is kinda Nintendo's whole thing. There's more Mario games than there are Javan Rhino's left on earth (230 vs 70). There's no way in hell Nintendo will let them do anything but Xenoblade. I bet Monolith would love to do what FromSoft does, but they're forever stuck in Koopa-Hell.

Na Elden Ring will be one of the big launch window games. Plenty of the other Souls-likes will also be ported with time.

Don't care what they make, I'll be there.

Those artworks were only for recruitment purpose anyway. There is no game attached to them.

Regardless, whatever they make I'll buy. Even Disaster 2

I would love to see something new and a bit less RPG-ish from them personally. I've never been able to get into any of the Xenoblade titles.

Well Monolith are done with the "Chronicles" story arc now so their next game will probably be a Xenoblade game but a different universe and setting etc I'm looking forward to seeing what they've been cooking, Absolute masters and personally I think they're in the same bracket as Naughty Dog for talent, What they achieved in Xenoblade X, Xeno 2 and 3 on meh hardware was nothing short of incredible.
