Monster Hunter dev comments on the upcoming movie, says “the final result should probably satisfy players”
Monster Hunter has a brand new movie coming next year. Although we’ve yet to see much from it, a trailer did leak online not too long ago.
In an interview with Bahamut, long-time Monster Hunter developer Kaname Fujioka, who has directed the series and served other roles, was asked about the film. He said that the team “did discuss with the director and CG production team many times” and ultimately believes “the final result should probably satisfy players.” Fujioka also noted how he and other staffers at Capcom feel the director’s “respect” for the IP.
Fujioka’s full words:
“Honestly, we haven’t watched it either yet (laughs), but we did discuss with the director and CG production team many times, and we could feel that they were thinking of the fans when making the movie, so the final result should probably satisfy players. Obviously a game and a movie will present itself differently, but the director is a professional, and we also feel his respect for Monster Hunter, so I hope players will look forward to that too.”
The Monster Hunter movie debuts on September 4, 2020.
