Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection was first announced this past July, with a release window set for 2026. Today, during the hour-long Nintendo Direct presentation, Capcom confirmed that the latest entry in the Monster Hunter Stories series will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC this coming March 13, 2026.
A new trailer showcased today delved more into the game's story and showed off some more gameplay for the upcoming title.
Monster Hunter Stories 3's narrative is kicked off with the birth of Twin Ratholos' with players stepping into the role of the heir to Azuria. "Ride, befriend, raise, and battle with monsters in a vibrant and expansive world filled with a colorful cast of characters," reads the video's description for the trailer.
The game will focus on the divide between two nations, with the birth of the two Ratholos' bringing both a sense of hope and terror, as they could either be part of the solution to the nations not destroying each other, or be the key to that dreaded destruction.
The last Monster Hunter Stories title surpassed 2 million units sold as of June 2024, and this follow-up will surely be another strong seller in Capcom's portfolio of Monster Hunter games that have been selling like gangbusters.
