Ahead of the fast-approaching March 13 launch of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Capcom released the Launch Trailer that delivers a dramatic synopsis of the engaging story and announced a special Animated Trailer offering an expanded look into the protagonist’s childhood and their journey becoming a Ranger set before the events of the upcoming role-playing game.

In Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, players will seek to uncover the truth behind a looming environmental crisis called the Crystal Encroachment that pulls two countries onto a path to destruction.

To get a taste of this adventure, players can download the Trial Version now to experience the opening chapter of the game and transfer save data into the full game at launch.
