Capcom announced today that Monster Hunter Stories will be launching on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam this summer. This Monster Hunter isn't what you're used to as this one is a turn-based RPG that was originally released on the Nintendo 3DS as well as Android and iOS devices.
As this is a wild departure from the typical Monster Hunter genre, this may not be everyone's cup of tea here. If you do enjoy a turn-based RPG and Monster Hunter, you may be happy to hear that there are several improvements in this new release compared to the original. We're talking about updated visuals, full voice acting, additional language support, a new museum mode, and it will include all improvements and additions that were previously made available only in Japan.
Embark on a journey into a colorful world where mighty monsters roam and people make a living by hunting them. Nestled within this land lies a hidden village where the locals follow a different set of customs. Here, Monster Riders form bonds with Monsties instead of hunting them. Unlike Hunters, Riders forge bonds and harness the power of kinships stones, allowing them to explore the vast and exhilarating realm together. Fight together in thrilling battles, hatch Monstie eggs, and customize your companion to suit your style.
