Depending on what Monolith's next project reveal is the thread may be renamed to be Monolith specific instead of just being focused on Xenoblade given the speculation that the next project may not be a new XBC, it's known they have two projects in the pipeline.

Shouldn't be a problem. The Xenoblade games are very loosely connected to begin with.

Based on the concept art for their new project, which is all I've even seen or heard about it, I'd say it's completely new. Looks a lot more classic medieval-fantasy based.

Spoiler!

Just occured to me now, but seeing how it focuses on swords (one of them carrying a large one), main character wearing a crown(?), and a dragon hovering over her, wouldn't surprise me if it's Arthurian related. Wouldn't be the first Japanese property to turn Arthur into a woman.

Of course those are all common fantasy tropes.

Monolith is actually working on 3 new games at the moment.

The first is this fantasy action game that you have shown here.
The second is a new RPG project by the Xenoblade team. (X2 or 3 is my guess.) 
The third is Breath of the Wild 2.
