Monster Hunter Stories 3 was officially unveiled today through the Nintendo Direct. We knew that this Direct presentation was going to be a partner showcase. So those of you who were looking for some new first-party exclusives to be unveiled were out of luck. That said, one of the big video game reveals today comes from the folks at Capcom.
Don’t get too excited as we only saw the announcement trailer. We’ll likely hear plenty more about this game later on. That said, we know the official name for this upcoming game will be Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and it’s at least coming to more than just the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection 3 Announced
From what we know so far, the game will follow two nations that are growing closer to ruin. Likewise, a recent mysterious egg was uncovered that eventually hatches to reveal a long, distinct monster, a Rathalos. But that’s not all, it turns out that there are two Rathalos that were birthed, both bearing a mark from the Skyscale Rathalos, a fabled monster that sparked a civil war hundreds of years ago.
Now players will embark on a journey with the heir of Azuria and the princess of Vermil as they seek to uncover the truth and ease tensions. Will they be successful in stopping another brutal war? We’ll have to wait and find out as this game won’t be here until sometime in 2026.
With that said, we know that Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms when it drops sometime in 2026.
