Capcom “can’t tell you to hold your breath” for Monster Hunter Tri G news at E3
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Monster Hunter fans have been hoping for a Tri G localization announcement ever since the game was confirmed for Japan. Captivate came and went without any news, so the general consensus was that if the game was heading overseas, some confirmation would be given at E3. And if not, it’ll probably stay in Japan.
Now we’re starting to see some comments suggesting an announcement won’t be made during E3 next month. Greg Moore, Community Liaison for Capcom Unity, recently wrote on the official message boards that “nothing’s been announced for the West and I can’t tell you to hold your breath for E3 either.” He did point to the bright future of the series, however, noting “it’s just going to take a little longer for something to hit our shores.”
Moore wrote:
“Hang in there, guys. Unfortunately nothing’s been announced for the West and I can’t tell you to hold your breath for E3 either. But Monster Hunter’s not done in the West. It’s just going to take a little longer for something to hit our shores.
“I know it’s been awhile since we’ve had a new MH game, but for what it’s worth, it ain’t cheap to keep those Tri servers running. Take that as a symbol of our ongoing stake in the franchise until we can get an actual game over here.”
I wouldn’t panic just yet. I’m personally unsure as to how much insider information a community liaison would have access to. Also, keep in mind that some of the company’s higher-ups – such as Christian Svensson – have hinted at an announcement not too long ago. Capcom might not have anything to share at E3, but even then we won’t be completely sure if the game has been ruled out for the west.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
