Monster Hunter Stories is an RPG set in the Monster Hunter world, where you become a Rider and forge bonds with your favorite monsters. ## [](#the-story)The story Azuria and Vermeil: two nations on a path to ruin. When all hope seems lost, an egg is found. Inside is a Rathalos, a species thought to be extinct. But this small glimmer of light quickly fades, giving way to darkness and despair. It wasn’t one Rathalos that hatched from the egg, but twins. They bear the Skyscale mark, recalling the disastrous civil war from 200 years ago. The world teeters on the brink of destruction, with thousands of monster species on the verge of extinction. In the shadow of these dark times, the flames of war flare up once more. Two nations and two Rathalos. A Rider and their loyal Rathalos set out on a journey for the truth, carried by the winds of fate. ### Release info - Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Release date 2026-03-13 00:00:00 Publisher CAPCOM Demo available DLC available Max players 1 Age rating 12 NS Online support Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, portuguese, russian, korean, chinese Genres adventure, rpg #### Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection -
