Monster Hunter Stories 3 Gets Concept Video, March Release Date

Monster Hunter Stories 3 fans got their first look at the upcoming game through a newly released concept video. The turn-based RPG spin-off of the popular Monster Hunter franchise is set to launch on March 13 across multiple platforms.

The game will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, giving players plenty of options for their monster-taming adventures. This marks the third entry in the Stories series, which puts players in the role of a Monster Rider who befriends and battles alongside creatures from the Monster Hunter universe.

The Monster Hunter Stories series offers a different take on the franchise compared to the main hunting games. Instead of primarily hunting monsters, players form bonds with them and use them as companions in turn-based battles. The series has gained a dedicated following for its colorful art style and more approachable gameplay compared to the main Monster Hunter titles.

While specific details about new features and story elements remain under wraps, the concept video suggests the game will maintain the series' signature blend of exploration, monster collection, and strategic combat. The simultaneous release across current and next-generation platforms shows Capcom's commitment to making the game accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

With the March release date now confirmed, Monster Hunter fans won't have to wait much longer to embark on their next monster-riding adventure.
