    Monster Hunter Stories 2 will arrive on the Switch, but the first?

    The Monster Hunter series boasts 6 main titles (the last of which, Monster hunter rise, is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch) and numerous spin-offs. Among these, particular success was found by Monster Hunter Stories, released on Nintendo 3DS in 2016 and later converted to a mobile version as well. On September 17th, Nintendo announced the development of a sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.


    The title announcement trailer.

    The game is in development for the Nintendo Switch, and its release is scheduled for mid-2021. from the moment of the announcement, many have begun to wonder if the Japanese company has planned a port of the prequel on Switch since, understandably, some players may have missed it, and with the 3DS now out of production since September, getting a copy of the original game will become increasingly difficult. Today the official position of Capcom on the matter was released, through the mouth of the producer Ryozo Tsujimoto:


    There are currently no plans for a Monster Hunter Stories port on Nintendo Switch.

    The announcement is lapidary, and it seems to close the question without the possibility of replies. On the other hand, Tsujimoto reassures that this fact will in no way prevent players from enjoying themselves Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.

    Despite being set in the same world, the game has been designed in such a way that players can jump right into Monster Hunter Stories 2.



    Who knows if this means that the story of the first title will be briefly exposed, for example through a summary at the beginning of the game, or if instead the events of the title in development will have nothing to do with the prequel, despite the fact that the two games share the same. same narrative universe. To find out more, all that remains is to wait for the release of more official information about the game ... unless it falls victim to a leak, as it just happened to Cyberpunk 2077!
