Capcom officially revealed the next installment in its popular Monster Hunter Stories series during a special showcase at Japan Rail Cafe Singapore on May 2.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 continues the beloved RPG spin-off, bringing new adventures to both longtime fans and newcomers on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Since its debut, the Monster Hunter Stories series has distinguished itself from the main Monster Hunter franchise by focusing on narrative-driven, turn-based JRPG gameplay.
The original Monster Hunter Stories launched on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016, followed by Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, which brought the series to the Nintendo Switch and PC in 2021.
Monster Hunter Stories 2 was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, surpassing 1.5 million units in sales worldwide within its first year according to Capcom’s official sales data.
At the Japan Rail Cafe Singapore event, Capcom representatives highlighted the strong community support and growing international popularity of the Monster Hunter Stories series.
In a prepared statement, a Capcom spokesperson expressed the company's gratitude for the global player base, emphasizing that fan enthusiasm continues to inspire further innovations.
The spokesperson noted, in summary, that Capcom remains committed to delivering immersive storytelling and strategic monster-battling mechanics—a hallmark of the franchise since its inception nearly two decades ago.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 will release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch and will take full advantage of the hardware’s portable and docked capabilities, giving players the flexibility to embark on monster-riding adventures at home or on the go.
Players can expect updated visuals, expanded monster rosters, and enhanced RPG elements that build upon proven series foundations.
While Capcom has not announced a specific release date, the company confirmed that more details, including gameplay footage and eShop availability, will be revealed in an upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation later this year.
With Monster Hunter’s enduring global appeal—exemplified by franchise sales exceeding 92 million units as of March 2024 (per Capcom’s official investor reports)—the Stories sub-series continues to attract RPG fans and newcomers alike.
Capcom’s strategic partnership with Nintendo ensures that Monster Hunter Stories 3 will be a headline release for the Nintendo Switch eShop, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to delivering high-quality, fan-driven experiences on their platforms.
Stay tuned for more updates on Monster Hunter Stories 3 as additional information becomes available from Capcom and upcoming Nintendo Direct events.
