Bandai Namco has posted three job listings - one for a Visual Artist, another for someone who can remake 3D backgrounds, and a planner. [Thanks, ResetEra]. All three Namco job listings mention that they are contracted by Nintendo to work on a Nintendo project. Each one mentions the same 3D action game. While the Planner and Visual Artist lend no hints as to what this project could be, the 3D background one mentions working on backgrounds to remaster for the project.
Beyond being a 3D action game, we have no idea what it could be. We do know that Bandai Namco has worked with Nintendo on many projects before including Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. 3DS & Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and New Pokémon Snap.
Author's Note: Huh. Interesting. I'm used to seeing these job listings by now, but I don't have much of a clue as to what it could be. Guess we'll have to see. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below!
