“Monster Hunter Stories” gets a New Mobile Game
Capcom announced a new mobile game based on its ”Monster Hunter stories” franchise on December 19,2025. The game, currently untitled, will be a role-playing game (RPG) where players raise monsters and battle alongside them, diverging from the action-focused gameplay of the main “Monster Hunter” series.
Unlike the customary ”Monster Hunter” games which focus on hunting large monsters, ”Monster Hunter Stories” centers around the bond between a Rider and their Monstie (monster companion). Players explore a vibrant world, hatch eggs to obtain Monsties, and engage in turn-based battles. The game’s narrative focuses on the journey of becoming a master Rider and uncovering the mysteries surrounding the origins of monsters and Riders.
The announcement highlighted the game’s unique storyline and the ability to transform people into perilous monsters. The visual style of the game, which is mainly inspired by Japanese anime, also deserves a mention.
Key features and Gameplay
The mobile adaptation of “Monster Hunter Stories” is expected to retain the core elements that made the original games popular, including:
- Monstie Raising: Hatch and raise a variety of monsters, each with unique abilities and strengths.
- Turn-Based Battles: Engage in strategic turn-based combat, utilizing the combined skills of the Rider and their Monstie.
- Exploration: Discover a vast and colorful world filled with secrets and challenges.
- story-Driven Campaign: Experience a compelling narrative centered around the bond between Riders and Monsties.
- Unique Transformation Mechanic: The ability to transform characters into monsters, adding a strategic layer to combat and exploration.
