It was leaked months ago that Monster Hunter World (a MH spin-off game) was coming to PS4, whilst the main franchise will remain exclusive to Nintendo - with Monster Hunter 5 currently in development for Switch.
There has been multiple Monster Hunter spin-off games on other systems and PC since the main franchise became exclusive to Nintendo...it's not really that big of a deal.
There was even a Monster Hunter spin-off game released just last year on PS4...![]()
And now we have Monster Hunter 5 - only it's called Monster Hunter World and there's no word of a version for Nintendo hardware.
So what we have here is Eurogamer reporting that Monster Hunter World is really Monster Hunter 5, and then you have Jasper reporting that Monster Hunter World is a spinoff.Jasper wrote:You do understand this was all leaked by 4chan many months ago, right?![]()
The leaker said a new Monster Hunter was secretly in development for PS4 - because Capcom wanted to develop a version of MH aimed at a western audience. The leaker also said a new traditional Monster Hunter (which is preferred by a Japanese audience) is secretly in development for Nintendo Switch.
It all makes sense. You don't think Capcom would be dumb enough to dump traditional MH - when the MH franchise's biggest audience is Japan.![]()
Capcom are actually taking a HUGE gamble, because Monster Hunter has never been a hit in the western markets, so this game could potentially bomb so bad and bleed Capcom a shitload of money.
