According to Yasunori Mitsuda’s blog, the soundtrack for Xenoblade 2 will begin major production by the end of the month. A few tracks have already been done, but Mitsuda and the returning composers from the original game will make great headway soon.
This comes a month after Mitsuda worked with the Irish and Celtic choral ensemble, Anúna. The group recorded a few songs for Xenoblade 2’s soundtrack.
Yasunori Mitsuda composed the ending theme to the original game, so it already appears he has more of a presence this time around. Xenoblade 2 releases on the Nintendo Switch sometime this year.
