With Monster Hunter Rise’s updates coming to an end, Capcom’s beast-slaying franchise now finds itself at an important crossroads.
The most obvious direction for Monster Hunter is Monster Hunter World 2. As the original World has become synonymous with the franchise, it would be best to carry on its name, or at least its spirit, in the next title.
??? Why not just monhunt6?
Don’t worry, that’s what it’s going to be. Game journalists gonna game journalist. They probably see all the general audiences asking for “World 2” and run with it.
Is it not that was the last rise sunbreak updates?
In my honest opinion I think they need to take some time to polish the next game. On the other hand Dragons Dogma need a good spotlight.
There are 2 development teams for Monster Hunter (maybe even more at this point with Stories, et. al.). So the team that just finished RiseBreak is not wholly responsible for MH6. It won’t be a quick turnaround as it should have already been in development since the close of WorldBorne.
We expect to hear something at TGS based on a comment Tsujimoto has made. Then it would likely release by Q2 2024 based on previous release patterns and the MH anniversary being next year.
All speculation, but pretty solid as far as speculation goes.
I mainly hope they slow down the combat a bit. Make positioning a more important factor than access to wire bugs or whatever gimmick might be introduced.
