Expecting overseas Monster Hunter news at big venues like E3 and Gamescom may have been the right idea. Capcom’s Christian Svensson wrote on the company’s official forum today that fans are “assuming that when it comes, it’ll be at some event you can see coming from a mile away.”
There is news on the way, Svensson assured. He once again promised that we’ll “hear something before the end of the year.” It isn’t clear when exactly Capcom will have something to say, but fans will receive an update before the year is over.
Svensson told fans on Capcom-Unity:
“Going to jump in here really quickly… A few weeks ago, I told MH fans on this forum that you’d hear something before the end of the year. Nothing has changed on that front. You’re also assuming that when it comes, it’ll be at some event you can see coming from a mile away. That’s not necessarily a correct assumption. While I appreciate the passion, I can’t help you if every possible industry event leads to build up and crashes in anticipation. If we somehow get to Dec 31 and you do not have more visibility, then please be mad at me. Until then, I’d request the benefit of the doubt and your continued patience. Thanks for being such great fans.”
