The next game released from Monolith Soft, again in collaboration with Banpresto, was "Project X Zone" for the Nintendo 3DS. A successor to "Namco × Capcom", the game received development support from and featured characters from franchises owned by Namco Bandai, Capcom and Sega. Following the release of "Xenoblade Chronicles", Monolith Soft was also working on a follow-up titled "Xenoblade Chronicles X" for the Wii U. A spiritual successor to the first game, and the company's first high-definition video game title, "Xenoblade Chronicles X" shifted from a story-driven to an open world gameplay-driven structure. The incorporation of an extensive multiplayer element resulted in its release being delayed and the narrative being substantially altered. Monolith Soft also developed a sequel to "Project X Zone", "Project X Zone 2". In addition to changing the character roster selected from Sega, Capcom and Bandai Namco, the game introduced characters from the Nintendo franchise "Fire Emblem" in addition to characters from "Xenoblade Chronicles".
