A notable leaker has identified a new codename — "Legacy" — that they say is being developed by Monolith Soft in partnership with Nintendo.
The report, posted publicly on May 28, 2024 by the leaker known as Midori, joins ongoing community interest in projects from Monolith Soft, the studio behind the Xenoblade Chronicles series and a long-standing collaborator with Nintendo on multiple first-party titles.
Monolith Soft is a subsidiary of Nintendo and has established a reputation for large-scale role-playing games, most prominently the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy.
The studio has also been credited as a support developer on Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, both released for Nintendo Switch.
These verified credits underscore Monolith Soft’s frequent collaboration with Nintendo on high-profile console projects.
In a summarized, journalistic restatement of Midori’s post, the leaker said on May 28 that the codename "Legacy" is being developed internally by Monolith Soft in collaboration with Nintendo and indicated the title would be published by Nintendo rather than by an external publisher.
Midori has previously become known in some circles for sharing leaks related to SEGA projects; the account’s past activity is part of why the community pays attention to its posts.
No additional details about the scope, genre, platforms, or release timing for "Legacy" were provided in Midori’s message.
Because the information remains an unconfirmed report from a third-party source, it has not been verified by Nintendo or Monolith Soft.
Industry watchers typically await official channels such as Nintendo Direct presentations, Nintendo of America/Japan press releases, or eShop updates for confirmed project announcements and release information.
What we do know from verified public records: Monolith Soft operates as a Nintendo-affiliated studio with a track record that includes developing the Xenoblade series and contributing as a support developer on Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch.
Any official confirmation about "Legacy," including platform details or release windows, would come directly from Nintendo or Monolith Soft.
We will update this story if Nintendo or Monolith Soft issues an official statement.
Readers looking for confirmation should monitor Nintendo Direct schedules and official Nintendo news channels for formal announcements.
