Nintendo has traditionally been very cagey about who really develops its video games; significantly within the final handful of years. With the likes of Yoshi and the Mysterious E-book, Donkey Kong Nation Returns HD, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership, we usually did not know for particular who the developer is till near launch (regardless of usually having pretty correct hunches).
So naturally, it solely makes us much more inquisitive about who’s engaged on the upcoming Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Swap 2. We have already thrown just a few potential hats into the ring, however one Norwegian retailer appears to suppose it is bought it nailed down.
A retailer web page on Elkjøp (thanks, Pocket book Examine) lists Ocarina of Time as being developed by Monolith Gentle, the studio behind the Xenoblade Chronicles sequence that Nintendo wholly acquired in December 2024. The writer, in the meantime, is Bergsala, which is a Swedish distribution firm that handles Nintendo merchandise for Nordic areas. Is sensible.
With the developer, nevertheless, we will assume right now that Elkjøp is solely making a wild guess. There’s completely no proof to recommend that Monolith Gentle is behind the upcoming remake, and it is probably we cannot know who the developer is till the sport launches.
Is it doable? Positive. However we all know so little concerning the sport proper now that we might recommend any developer and it would sound moderately viable. Grezzo, Capcom, Outright Video games… Okay, possibly not that final one. You get the concept, although.
Monolith Gentle being revealed because the developer would not be a large shock given its skills and in depth help work on the likes of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. It’s extremely busy engaged on Xenoblade Genesis proper now, although, so until it wrapped improvement on Ocarina a short time again, we predict it is a stretch to say that the crew is juggling each on the similar time.
Hopefully we cannot have to attend for much longer to seek out out extra, so let’s preserve our eyes and ears open.
