Monster Hunter saw a massive reversal in its fortunes with the launch of Monster Hunter World.
That a full-on follow-up to Monster Hunter World is in development isn’t exactly a bold prediction, given how well the 2018 game continues to sell.
Interestingly, a Monster Hunter 6 was mentioned in Capcom’s massive ransomware leak in 2020, so clearly, a new mainline Monster Hunter game has been something the company’s planning for a while.
While the series had always been huge for Capcom in Japan, with the 2018 game, it saw incredible global success and sustained sales.
