Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection – pre order trailer
The upcoming RPG sets its tale between two nations, Azuria and Vermeil, both edging toward collapse. Strange crystals are spreading across the world, and when a mysterious egg hatches two rare Rathalos marked with ancient dragon symbols, chaos follows. You play as the heir to Azuria, the only one capable of riding a Rathalos, as you lead the Rangers to protect monsters and uncover the secrets behind the spreading corruption. The hunt eventually pushes you to the icy north, into the forbidden Meridian, where danger and answers await.
