Update: There is now a picture of the actual amiibo, seen now as the feature image and in the gallery.

Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Stories, the 3DS Monster Hunter spinoff, will be releasing in Japan on October 8th. Also, there will be three brand-new amiibo launched alongside the game. Two of these are of the protagonist riding the One-Eyed Rathalos, with one amiibo for each gender, while the third is of the player’s partner, Nabiru. These amiibo will grant players unique monsters in-game. Furthermore, Capcom plans to release a second set of amiibo after release. There are also two special costumes for Nabiru, with a Rathalos costume coming in limited versions of the game, and a Dinovaldo costume unlocked by having Monster Hunter Generations save data on your 3DS. This save data will also unlock a one-hand sword for the protagonist.

But that’s not all! Capcom also showed off two costumes, one for the protagonist based on popular musician DAIGO, and the other a costume for Nabiru based on Sanrio character Pompomporin. You can see pictures of all this content below.

The official site will also update on June 2nd, so there may be more new information to look forward to in the future. There is still no word on a western release.

Monster Hunter Stories was announced almost a year ago. Capcom now seems to be wrapping up its work on the game, as a release date could be coming very soon. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said during a talk show event at Machi Asobi recently that he hopes to be able to announce news on this front by the month. He also said that it’s being made as a mainstream RPG.

Fans asked Tsujimoto about topics like Elder Dragons appearing, if we’ll be seeing new monsters in the game, and potential link features with Monster Hunter Generations. Unfortunately though, he wouldn’t divulge answers to any of these questions for now.

A new piece of information about the anime has since surfaced. Specifically, it’s now confirmed that David Production is behind the show. This team is perhaps best known for working on the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders anime.
