Here's what you may not know, Molithith – the talented team behind Xenoblade Chronicles series – helped with Crossing the Animals: New Horizons. No, this is not an April Fool's joke too late, it's all listed on the Japanese company's website.
Unfortunately, there are no additional details about what exactly was done or how they were involved in the project. As strange as this may seem, Molithith Soft has offered it before development support at games Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Crossing Animals: Happy Home Designer. Since the company was acquired by Nintendo in 2007, other topics such as Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Pikmin 3.
Recently, the studio grew to 243 employees and assisted with it The History of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 – all while pumping new Xenoblade information at the same time. It is busy hiring Breath of the Wild 2 staff as well, and working on previous groundbreaking construction.
Judging by the scale of Nintendo's games these days, it's not surprising to see many of its teams participating. Still, it's always nice to know what the first-team producers were up to without their major releases. This could also be another reason why it has become so big in recent years. And for those surprises, the main development team for Animal Crossing: New Horizons was Nintendo EPD.
