I love Monster Hunter and would love to see it grow not just as an action-RPG series.
Monster Hunter Now appears to be thriving on mobile; Monster Hunter Puzzles is a nice little experiment; and Monster Hunter Stories has already become a respectable RPG subseries of its own.
Monster Hunter, on the other hand, seems like the perfect fit for the basic premise of cozy life sims.
The Monster Hunter IP is no stranger to off-beat spinoffs either.
