BotW seems to take the quality well beyond what we saw in XCX. Perhaps the next Xenoblade game will use the same engine - it would be the perfect engine to use, given that "open air" is the obvious style to use for Xenoblade 3.

There's a ton of franchises that could use the BotW engine effectively.  I personally want them to use it for a new Metroid game because the lowered development time using a pre-made engine is probably the only shot a less financially successful Nintendo franchise like Metroid has of getting a large-scale game of around BotW's size and scope.  Plus, even if Retro is sick of Metroid, maybe they'll change their tune if they find out they can make a more open Metroid game in same the vein of BotW.

Yes, but Monolith have been involved in development of BotW. So they're an obvious candidate for using the engine.
