After many years of exclusivity, Monster Hunter is no longer exclusive to Nintendo platforms. In fact, the latest major game isn’t on any Nintendo system at all. Capcom announced Monster Hunter World at E3, which currently has no sign of showing up on something like Switch.

Eurogamer did ask co-director Kaname Fujioka about the possibility of porting Monster Hunter World over to Switch in a recent interview. But unfortunately, Fujioka was naturally cagey about the subject. He instead wants to think more about the future in terms of how Monster Hunter can be adapted there.

Here’s what Fujioka had to say about Monster Hunter on Switch:

The eShop has updated with a new game for Switch. As shown in a new listing on the store, Maria The Witch is coming soon. It should be available on November 9 for $4.99, assuming nothing changes.

In the game, you play as… Maria, who is a witch. You’ll need to navigate through a variety of stages and worlds. Different features are included such as a magnet that attracts items that are far away. We have more details and a trailer below.

What’s really interesting here is that Maria The Witch can be pre-loaded in North America. Pre-loading with third-party, indie releases isn’t something we’ve seen on Nintendo platforms a whole lot, especially on Switch. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.
