After pumping out Xenoblade Chronicles games for a decade and helping out on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Monolith Soft is now fully owned by Nintendo

Nintendo now fully owns Monolith Software, more than a decade after both c﷽ompanies first got into bed together.

Monolith Soft has long been producing games and series with Xeno in the title, starting with Square Enix's Xenogears, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco's Xenosaga, and now N🧜intendo's Xenoblade games. It also supports everything from Super Smash Bros. Brawl to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but its relationship with the Big N didn't start with a clear-cut acquisition.

now lists Nintendo as its sole shareholder with ownership over 100% of its shares. (Good spot, .)

Nothing will properly change between the two companies since Monolith Soft has been almost exclusively working on Nintendo proje⛦cts for more than a d๊ecade at this point, but it's an interesting development regardless, especially as major Nintendo buyouts are few and far between. 

For now, Monolith Soft is gearing up to break Xenoblade Chronicles ﷽X out of its Wii U prison cell next year. The JRPG powerhouse is probably also working on the next Xenoblade game - or maybe even a totally new thing - that we might even see pop up on the incoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2
