Nintendo Direct: Monster Hunter Stories

During today’s Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Capcom will finally be porting the first Monster Hunter Stories game to Nintendo Switch. According to the press release, the game will also be launching on PS4 and PC via Steam. Feel free to check out the brand new trailer down below and read a little bit more about the game from the latest press release. Monster Hunter Stories is scheduled to launch sometime this Summer 2024. A more specific release date has not yet been announced.

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.

Refined Graphics: Originally released on the Nintendo 3DS™, players can now experience riding Monsties in stunning detail on larger screens, enhanced with improved modeling, textures, and lighting in high definition.
