Capcom Reveals Monster Hunter Stories 3 Amiibo for Switch 2, Confirmed for March 2026 Release

Capcom is doubling down on its support for Nintendo's popular amiibo line, officially unveiling upcoming figures to coincide with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection for Nintendo Switch 2.

The announcement comes directly from the floor of the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, marking a significant development for both the Monster Hunter franchise and collectors of Nintendo's interactive figurines. Set for a global release on March 13, 2026, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection represents the latest mainline entry in Capcom’s beloved story-driven spin-off series.

This RPG adventure will launch exclusively on Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2.

Accompanying the game, Capcom is preparing at least three new amiibo figures, which debuted in prototype form at the company’s Tokyo Game Show booth.

Fans in attendance had an early look at the designs, which were also quickly shared by the Monster Hunter community on social media platforms, particularly the Monster Hunter subreddit. The Monster Hunter Stories franchise has a rich history with Nintendo’s amiibo line.

For the second installment, Capcom released figures representing fan-favorite characters such as Ena, Razewing Ratha, and Tsukino.

Those amiibo were made available in tandem with the game’s release for the Nintendo Switch, following a similar distribution strategy as the original Monster Hunter Stories on Nintendo 3DS, each time enhancing the collector’s experience and delivering in-game bonuses. Following Capcom’s previous success in collaborating with Nintendo’s amiibo program—including recent sets based on their acclaimed Street Fighter 6—this next series expands the functionality and appeal of both Monster Hunter Stories 3 and the Nintendo Switch 2’s ecosystem.

While exact details about the in-game features of these new figures remain under wraps, history suggests they will unlock exclusive content and cosmetic rewards. In addition to the amiibo reveal, Capcom shared an expanded version of the Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection release date trailer as part of a recent Nintendo Direct presentation.

The new trailer offers an immersive look at the game’s narrative, characters, and unique world, spotlighting a formidable new antagonist from the mysterious Forbidden Ground.

Capcom commented that the extended footage gives players an even deeper sense of what to expect when Monster Hunter Stories 3 launches in 2026. The dual reveal of new amiibo figures and a detailed trailer underscores Capcom’s commitment to supporting the Nintendo Switch 2 with robust content and collectible experiences.

As the build-up to the March 13, 2026 release continues, excitement grows among both Monster Hunter fans and amiibo collectors, eager for the next chapter of this critically acclaimed RPG saga.
