At the Monster Hunter Festa ’15 tournament finals in Tokyo today, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Stories, a Monster Hunter RPG spin-off for the 3DS due out in Japan sometime in 2016.

“We want to imbue this game with a storyline and brand of fun that can only be done within the confines of an RPG, while still preserving the core sensibilities that people have come to associate with Monster Hunter,” Tsujimoto said.

Why can’t we get gameplay in trailers?

Some games have had that, but then other games have separated CG from gameplay as individual trailers, like for FFXIV: Heavensward. It could have to do with getting the cinematic and gameplay sides of the game their own spotlights to focus on, or in some cases, game developers aren’t far along in development to show anything concrete besides a proof of concept.

This looks more lighthearted than the main MH series, and it looks to have an anime style. I like it.
