Monster Hunter Stories remaster announced

Capcom has announced a Monster Hunter Stories remaster for modern platforms, and it’s launching this year.

The new Monster Hunter Stories remaster is launching sometime this summer for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

The original Monster Hunter Stories was released for the Nintendo 3DS back in 2016 and was only ported to smartphones.

Here’s a rundown on the new remaster, plus a reveal trailer:

Embark on a journey into a colorful world where mighty monsters roam and people make a living by hunting them. Nestled within this land lies a hidden village where the locals follow a different set of customs. Here, Monster Riders form bonds with Monsties instead of hunting them. Unlike Hunters, Riders forge bonds and harness the power of kinships stones, allowing them to explore the vast and exhilarating realm together. Fight together in thrilling battles, hatch Monstie eggs, and customize your companion to suit your style.

Features

Refined Graphics: Originally released on the Nintendo 3DS, players can now experience riding Monsties in stunning detail on larger screens, enhanced with improved modeling, textures, and lighting in high definition.

Now Fully Voiced: Immerse yourself in the adventure with full Japanese and English voiceovers.

Additional Language Support: Monster Hunter Stories will have additional language support, newly featuring Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Arabic.

Museum mode: Delve deeper into the world of Monster Hunter Stories through the newly added Museum mode, featuring the game’s background music and developer sketches.

Included Title Updates (TU): Previously only available in Japan, players can now enjoy title updates, unlocking content from TU 1.20 and TU 1.30.
