Monster Hunter Stories 3 Twisted Reflection announced for Switch 2, consoles, and PC in 2026

Capcom revealed Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase event. The third installment arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 during 2026 alongside releases for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. This announcement follows four years after Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin achieved over one million sales within ten days and eventually reached two million total units sold. The narrative centers on twin Rathalos creatures whose birth creates despair rather than hope as two warring nations face destruction from these powerful monsters. Players assume the role of Azuria's heir, the sole Rathalos rider, who embarks on a quest to investigate mysterious phenomena threatening global stability.
