Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Takes A Look In The Mirror

The latest shard in the Monster Hunter Stories subsection of the absurdly popular Monster Hunter franchise was announced today. The two previous Stories were charming titles in their own right, both reasonably lighthearted, up to a certain point. From what we can see Stories 3 would appear to be moving that certain point a bit earlier than the last one.

We’re a bit perplexed as how to comment on what’s been shown thus far, so they’ll leave it to Capcom’s own overview of the story.

A new tale of Riders and monsters takes flight! Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the next evolution of the turn-based, story-rich RPG series.

Twin Rathalos, born in a twist of fate, ignite the long dormant flames of war between two fractured nations: Azuria and Vermeil. You are the heir to the kingdom of Azuria, and the sole Rathalos Rider in the kingdom. On the brink of war and amidst strange phenomena threatening the world, a life changing event propels you beyond the Meridian, and on an unforgettable journey in search of the truth.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection releases for the Switch 2, Xbox Series, PC, and PS5. There’s no concrete date, other than somewhere in 2026.
