Capcom continues to build momentum for the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections, following its prominent showcase during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
The Japanese game studio, celebrated for its influential role in the Monster Hunter franchise, offered fans fresh insights into the upcoming release for Nintendo Switch 2, which is firmly slated for a global launch in March 2026. Today, excitement surrounding Monster Hunter Stories 3 reaches new heights with Capcom's release of a playable demo, now available for download via the Switch 2 eShop.
This trial version provides players with an early hands-on opportunity to experience the world, battle mechanics, and story beats of Twisted Reflections.
Importantly, Capcom has confirmed that any progress made in the demo—including story advancement and character growth—can be seamlessly transferred to the full game upon its release. “Players are invited to begin their journey right away and continue seamlessly when Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections officially arrives,” communicated Capcom in its latest statement, emphasizing the value of early engagement and a smooth transition for committed fans. For those already convinced of the title’s appeal, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections is available for pre-order on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop.
The game is priced at $69.99 / £54.99 and includes an exclusive bonus: the downloadable content 'Layer Armor for Eleanor Skyscale Queen,' a cosmetic upgrade tied to one of the game’s prominent characters.
A new demo trailer provides players with a curated glimpse of the enhanced visuals, expansive environments, and turn-based combat that define this latest installment in the beloved Monster Hunter Stories spin-off series. Capcom, which also made headlines during the Nintendo Direct with updates on titles such as Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem, has simultaneously launched a playable demo for Pragmata on the Nintendo Switch 2, further demonstrating its commitment to giving players a taste of upcoming major releases. Since its debut, the Monster Hunter Stories line has been praised for expanding the series’ appeal, blending classic RPG features with the signature monster-taming and exploration that define the core franchise.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections is poised to build upon this legacy, utilizing the Nintendo Switch 2’s upgraded hardware for enhanced performance and deeper immersion. The arrival of the demo underscores Capcom’s efforts to foster community engagement and fuel anticipation ahead of the March 2026 launch.
Interested players can access the trial now on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, with their progress remaining intact for the full adventure to come.
