Game Groups > Xenoblade series

Xenoblade is an RPG series developed by Monolith Soft. The series is considered a thematic one; while the games take place in separate universes, they all share the common features of a large open world, real-time combat, recurring fictional species, and similar philosophical ideas.

Xenoblade Chronicles (2010) began as a standalone title called Monado: Beginning of the World. It received its final name a few months prior to release, as a way of honoring director Tetsuya Takahashi, who had previously worked on the Xenogears and Xenosaga games. Since then, multiple new entries in the series have been released, starting in April 2015 with Xenoblade Chronicles X.
