Capcom: Don’t worry about Monster Hunter
Posted on April 10, 2012 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
A lot of folks were banking on a Monster Hunter announcement from Capcom today. Fans were hoping that Monster Hunter Tri G would be confirmed for North America and Europe.
Sadly that didn’t pan out, and there are some fans out there who are concerned about the lack of announcements surrounding the franchise.
In response to this, Capcom’s Christian Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity forums:
“Alas, MH announcements tend to be made in Japan… as such, I have no news to share at this moment but you shouldn’t be worried.”
It makes sense for brand new Monster Hunter games to be announced in Japan before any other territory given its popularity in the region. Monster Hunter Tri G and Monster Hunter 4 were both revealed in Japan late last year. But for localization news, Capcom’s western branches would have to speak up and say something.
Maybe Svensson is alluding to some sort of Monster Hunter Tri G announcement at E3? I really don’t know since his quote is extremely vague. If there isn’t concrete news in the near future, I’d be very concerned about the status of that game in North America/Europe.
