'Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection' gets launch trailer

Launching today is Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. For the occasion, the trailer above was aired.

Set two centuries after the Rift War, the kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil stand divided. Twin Rathalos unexpectedly hatch from a single egg, igniting a story of forbidden lands and twisted destinies. A mysterious Crystal Encroachment emerges, threatening ecosystems and habitats across the land and causing conflicts between monsters. Along the journey, players will meet companions including vice-captain Gaul, monster expert Ogden, Ranger Squad co-founder Kora, the protagonist’s best friend and confidante Simon, Thea, the brand-new member of the Rangers, and Eleanor, Princess of Vermeil. As the protagonist, players take on the role of Prince/Princess of Azuria, and captain of the Ranger Squad to protect endangered eggs, restore ecosystems, and confront powerful monsters. Players can also customize their protagonist’s appearance to fully step into the roles.

Features of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection include:

In Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, players engage in turn-based battles built around a rock-paper-scissor system, where attack types such as Power, Speed, and Technical counter one another for tactical advantage. The new system, Synchro Rush allows the full party to join forces for a massive, coordinated attack. In addition, Habitat Restoration allows players to release monsters into the wild to protect endangered species and influence an area’s Ecosystem Rank, which affects egg availability, monster traits, and elemental attributes. There are even rare Monsters that can be hatched from eggs obtained in the living ecosystem shaped by player actions.
Players can also explore the vast world of Monster Hunter Stories 3 by using Riding Actions, including climbing, gliding, and flying on the backs of Monsties to reach new locations, uncover hidden items, and traverse freely through vast, three-dimensional terrain.
Players can access free day-one DLC which includes the Gold Circlet accessory and Simon’s Wind Wyvern’s Friend layered armour. Additional DLC content will be available at launch, with the “Additional Side Story: Rudy” releasing in Autumn 2026.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is available now physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and Steam.
