That shouldn\u2019t come as a big surprise given his involvement with the franchise and Monolith Soft as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Yoko Shimomura is the main composer of Xenoblade Genesis. Some fans may remember that Shimomura worked on the very first Xenoblade Chronicles. She\u2019s had a long and legendary career having also done compositions for Mario &amp; Luigi, Super Mario RPG, Kingdom Hearts, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Shimomura isn\u2019t alone. Other composers are involved \u2013 Mariam Abounnasr and Aimi Kiyota are also working on the game. The game also features the chorus of Anuna, which recorded four songs for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Mai Yoneyama and Palow are handling the character designs together. Palow previously worked on Ino for Xenoblade Chronicles 3.<\/p>\n<p>Xenoblade Genesis is set to debut on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. You can get a look at the game here.<\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nintendo didn\u2019t have a whole lot to say about Xenoblade Genesis following the Direct reveal, but we now&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":694299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[69777,74,1867,300978],"class_list":["post-694298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-monolith-soft","tag-technology","tag-top","tag-xenoblade-genesis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/694299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
