Nintendo announced<\/a> today via social media that the hit Capcom game Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate<\/strong>, known at Monster Hunter XX<\/em> in Japan, is finally coming to North America.<\/p>\n

The game will be released for the Nintendo Switch in North America on August 28th.<\/p>\n

For the first time, gamers have the flexibility to play both local wireless and online multiplayer with up to three other hunters \u2013 whether playing at home on the big screen or on the go in handheld or tabletop mode.<\/p>\n

Hunters can face off against the series’ largest roster of unique monsters in this nostalgic look back at the series\u2019 beginnings and evolutions. Take on the role of a brave hunter on an adrenaline-fueled adventure challenging larger-than-life beasts. Completing quests will yield valuable resources for crafting countless distinct weapons and equipment fashioned after players\u2019 defeated foes. Along their journey, hunters must defend each of the game\u2019s four villages from major threats known as the Fated Four, plus an even more dangerous new Elder Dragon.<\/p>\n

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate features a blend of classic gameplay and unique new twists, brand new explorable areas and monsters, plus returning fan-favorites like the lightning fast Zinogre and the stealthy long-tailed Nargacuga. This release introduces a new quest level called \u201cG\u201d rank that features even more formidable versions of familiar foes, truly testing experienced hunters\u2019 battle tactics now with different moves and abilities never before seen in the wild!<\/p>\n

For newcomers to the series, the gameplay features tons of powerful super moves called Hunter Arts that can be executed with a quick tap on the touch screen. Players can experiment and choose from six different Hunting Styles including two new ones called Brave Style, which rewards players with new moves for landing successive attacks; and Alchemy Style, a support style that grants the ability to create useful items on the fly during combat. Hunters are encouraged to explore and customize the experience between quests to discover their preferred, highly personalized playstyle. <\/p>\n

Players of the original Monster Hunter Generations can transfer save data from the previous title to continue their journey in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.<\/p>\n
