<p>Monolith Soft has grown in strength and size ever since it was acquired by Nintendo in 2007. In recent years, it <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/06/xenoblade_studio_monolith_soft_is_helping_make_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">helped</a> with the landscape design in <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a></strong> and its definitive edition of the original <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/xenoblade_chronicles"><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles</strong></a> is expected to be released on the Switch at some point this year. It’s also assisting with the sequel to Breath of the Wild and working on a new RPG.</p>
<p>As a result of all these projects, it’s been on a non-stop recruitment drive for a number of years now. It ramped up its studio size to 120 employees in 2014 and last year was busy <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/xenoblade_studio_monolith_soft_is_hiring_staff_for_the_legend_of_zelda_series">hiring staff for Breath of the Wild 2</a>. Now, Silconera reports Monolith Soft has grown to 243 employees – that’s its highest employee count to date.</p>
<p>If all this has you wondering where <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/xenoblade_chronicles_definitive_edition">Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition</a></strong> is, in the past few weeks it’s been listed for a May 29th launch by <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/amazon_mexico_lists_may_launch_date_for_xenoblade_chronicles_definitive_edition">multiple online retailers</a>. In saying this, Nintendo has made no official announcement about when the game will be released just yet, so there’s no certainty it will be launched in this particular month.</p>
