The artwork wasn’t released randomly. Monolith Soft updated its website today with information regarding recruitment guidelines for new graduates. The site won’t have much interest for fans of Monolith Soft, but we’ll certainly take any new Xenoblade art we can get.

[Let’s Talk] Your favorite Xenoblade game
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Xenoblade is in a much different place now than it was a decade ago. For quite some time, we weren’t even sure if the original game would be released in the states. Whereas Japan originally received the Wii title in June 2010, it didn’t come out in English until the European launch in August 2011. Xenoblade’s North American debut finally took place several months later in April 2012.
It was then in 2015 that Xenoblade Chronicles X launched on Wii U. The RPG was quite a bit different from its predecessor, emphasizing its open world and mechs known as Skells. Hiroyuki Sawano was also brought in to helm the soundtrack. Fans still enjoyed what Monolith Soft had created, and some hope they’ll be able to revisit the world of Mira one day.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies worldwide
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies worldwide through March 2019. That news comes straight from Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, who shared the news in a crossover interview with Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada. Takahashi indicated that sales are essentially peaking at that number, which makes sense given how the RPG has been out for quite some time.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launched in December 2017. It was at 1.42 million copies sold by June 30, 2018. That number moved up to 1.53 million units by September 30 that year.
Thanks to PDApanda for the tip.
