Well we dont know if they assisteing on some other projects, I think there are good chance that they are assisteing on Zelda U after they complete Xenoblade X, same like they assisteing Zelda SS after Xenoblade Chronicles. Even if they don't assisteing to other projects and they expanded their stuff, you cant expect to finish new game in 2-3 years if their 2 previous projects are developed around 5 years. In best possible case they can finish new game in 3 years, that means 2018. launch. |
A good chance sure, but not confirmed. In all honesty though, I think it would be pretty shitty to keep holding a dev team back every gen to help make a game that the Zelda EAD team should have had ample time to finish twice in a row. At that point Eiji either needs to reform the team with better members, or just give the LoZ IP to Monolith Soft.
Only the Xeno series has taken 5 years of development. I would hope for a game or two without the name Xeno in it to show up some time (well, I'd be fine with some remakes or remasters, but you wouldn't think those would take 5 years as the stories have been written). Really, Monolith Soft should be their in with Namco. Make a new Baten Kaitos or Xenosaga HD should be at the top of Nintendo's things to do with Monolith Soft right now. Expanding the Wii U's library should have been on their things to do list for at least two years now.
As far as the game being completed on two or three years, sure. But you can announce it after one year of development, and release it two years later. (Look at half the announcements made in video gaming, including Nintendo's.)
