Monster Hunter Stories Remaster Out in June

Gamers have something exciting to look forward to as Capcom has announced the release of the Monster Hunter Stories remaster set for June 14th. Available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, the remaster of the 2016 original, initially released on the Nintendo 3DS, promises enhanced visuals, new voice-overs, and additional content that was previously exclusive to the Japanese version. Alongside the remaster, the sequel game, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, will also become available for PlayStation 4 on the same day, adding to its existing availability on Switch and PC.

Monster Hunter Stories, a spin-off of the prominent action series, offers a unique rock-paper-scissors combat system that has been likened to the mechanics of Pokémon. In this game, players will collect and battle with monsters in a captivating blend of storytelling and strategic gameplay.

The gameplay in Monster Hunter Stories features a turn-based combat system based on a rock-paper-scissors mechanic. Players can collect, hatch, and battle with a variety of monsters, each with their own set of skills and abilities, to create a deep and rewarding experience.

As part of the Monster Hunter franchise, the Stories sub-series provides gamers with a different experience from the mainline games. Unlike the main series, which focuses on real-time combat with monsters, Monster Hunter Stories adopts a more RPG-like approach where players can ride and fight alongside monsters, forge bonds, and explore a rich narrative journey. The series' vibrant art style, alongside its engaging storylines, made it a favorite among fans who enjoyed the depth of its creature-collection mechanics melded with strategic turn-based battles.
