Monster Hunter has been critically well received in Western markets, but had generally languished in sales, in part due to the game's high difficult learning curve. The early games in the series principally sold well in Japan and other Asian countries, popularized by the series' use of ad hoc multiplayer features on portable consoles. As of Marchthe game series has sold 63 million units worldwide, and is Capcom's second best-selling series following Resident Evil. All main series games feature multiplayer usually up to four player cooperativebut can also be played single player. The player takes the role of a Hunter, slaying or trapping large monsters across various landscapes as part of quests given to them by the local, with some quests involving the gathering of a certain item, which may put the Hunter at risk of facing a certain monster.Īs part of its core gameplay loopplayers use loot gained from slaying monsters, gathering resources, and quest rewards to craft improved weapons, armor, and other items that allows them to face more powerful monsters. The games are primarily action role-playing games. The series is developed and published by Capcom. This newly enhanced version will be released in the West on the 3DS sometime during 2015.Titles have been released across a variety of platforms, including personal computer, home console, portable consoles, and mobile devices. This excellent news follows the reveal of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which is set to be the definitive version of Monster Hunter 4. Not much more has been said about the matter, but even this little is more than enough for all Monster Hunter fans in North America and Europe. In preparation for that, we’ve broadened our scope and started launching individual titles across multiple hardware platforms.” We simply can’t release a game as it is, but need to adapt all the necessary services to the unique characteristics of each region. “The reason why we have increased our support for so many hardware platforms is because we have our sights set on distributing services for this game in the future outside Japan.
This has been done because the company wants to release the game in the West and let as many gamers as possible enjoy the title. Yoshinori Ono has revealed today that the company is aiming to release the series latest online entry, Monster Hunter Frontier G, in North America and Europe.Īccording to Ono, the G in the title means that the game is going to be compatible with a wide variety of platforms.
