Summary
Nintendo disclosed key Xenoblade Genesis staff, with Tetsuya Takashi serving as general director, Yoko Shimomura as main composer, and Mai Yoneyama and Palow sharing character design duties.
Shimomura is joined by Mariam Abounnasr and Aimi Kiyota on the soundtrack, while Irish choral group Anuna also contributes after recording four songs for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
The lineup ties the project closely to the series' history: Takashi has long led Monolith Soft's Xenoblade work, Shimomura composed for the first Xenoblade Chronicles, and Palow previously worked on Ino in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Xenoblade Genesis was first shown in Nintendo's recent Direct presentation and is scheduled to debut on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
