Monolith Soft, Inc. is a game developer based in Tokyo, Japan, mostly known for developing RPGs such as the Xeno series, among others. The studio was founded by Tetsuya Takahashi, a former Square employee.
Contents
History
After the release of Xenogears, Tetsuya Takahashi and Hirohide Sugiura left Squaresoft after they chose to not develop a sequel. On October 1, 1999, the two founded their own company, Monolith Soft, after accepting an investment from Namco, and continued the Xeno series.
In May of 2007, Namco sold 80% of its 96% stake in Monolith to Nintendo, giving Nintendo controlling interest in the company. Namco would later sell them the remaining 16% share, making Monolith a full first-party developer for Nintendo.
In 2011, Monolith would open a Kyoto office, mostly for 3D designers. The Kyoto studio has mostly provided development assistance for other Nintendo games.
