In addition to announcing the release date, Capcom confirmed at Monster Hunter Championship 2017 that the Switch version of Monster Hunter XX will support internet cross-play with the 3DS version, as well as 1080p resolution support, and four-player local and online play.
This updated version of Monster Hunter X will release for Nintendo Switch in Japan on August 25.
While a game from Capcom bearing this title has yet to be announced, it’s possible Monster Hunter: World could end up being the localized name of Monster Hunter XX, which was announced for Nintendo Switch in Japan last month.
After all, the prior entry, dubbed Monster Hunter X in Japan, was rebranded Monster Hunter Generations in the west.
