Capcom has set a showcase dedicated entirely to its big creature-bashing, leather outfit-making action series, focused on Monster Hunter Wilds' new big update coming later this month and next year's turn-based spin-off RPG Monster Hunter Stories 3. A series this – ahem – monstrously big deserves its own show, after all.
So far, we already know Wilds' fourth free title update sees the return of the Giant Halberd Dragon Gogmazios for the first time in over a decade. It'll also include new seasonal events, endgame content, weapon tweaks, and performance improvements. Those performance woes, specifically on PC, have been a thorn in Monster Hunter Wilds' side since release, so much so that the new blockbuster is actually being outsold by older Monster Hunter games.
Capcom's committed to returning to JRPGs in a big way with Monster Hunter Stories 3: "As Capcom developers, we're able to add our interpretation of what a JRPG is today"
Capcom adds full-on MMO mechanics to Monster Hunter Wilds in absurd Final Fantasy 14 collab, brings back Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate icon Gogmazios after 10 long years
Capcom wanted to focus more on the RPG aspect for Monster Hunter Stories 3, director pulls a Final Fantasy and says it's set 200 years in the future so don’t worry about playing the first two
Just don't go into the showcase expecting any expansions or beefier announcements related to Wilds, as Capcom clarifies it'll "focus solely" on the upcoming update.
As for Monster Hunter Stories 3, the JRPG might be carrying the name of the 3DS' cheery spin-offs, but it's also pivoting into slightly darker territory with a story about warring kingdoms. Capcom's committing to return to JRPGs in a big way with the game.
After Monster Hunter Wilds' year of performance woes, Capcom says Resident Evil Requiem won't share the same fate: "At present, we do not anticipate similar risks."
