At the end of March, the soundtrack for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will start recording. This is a good sign for the game’s development which is still scheduled to be released later this year for the Nintendo Switch console.
Yasunori Mitsuda posted an update on the situation via his blog. You can read a Google translation of the blog yourself as posted via NeoGAF. You can read what he said below.
He said: “Large-scale recording is abridged at the end of this month. Of course the title is an example of Xeno. This time the writer puts himself and there are five people, but the score is compiled by me all, so the premonition that seems to be a tremendous amount of musical score.
Even a part-time job may not make it in time (^ ^;) to hire it. This picture is still about 1/4. Moreover, it is still about half because it is about half from the total number of songs. I have no choice but to work hard on each step.”
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles and it is being developed by Monolith Soft. The game is still expected to be released in 2017 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch console.
