According to a now-deleted tweet from Twitter user @neonaga99 and VGC, the existence of the next Monster Hunter title has seemingly leaked through Discord’s backend, which holds future placeholder events, one of which is claimed to be for a Monster Hunter title called ‘Monster Hunter Paradise.’ The placeholder event lets players redeem an Xbox, PlayStation, or PC code for Monster Hunter Paradise which are most likely to be the platforms for the upcoming game. None of these claims have been confirmed by Capcom. The latest Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter Rise, first launched on March 26, 2021, for Nintendo Switch and then on January 12 for PC. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion launched for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on June 30.
Details of the game and its expansion pass via Capcom can be seen below:
The Monster Hunter series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. Beginning with the first title in 2004, the series established a new genre in which players cooperate to hunt ferocious monsters with their friends and has since grown into a global phenomenon with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 84 million units shipped as of July 5, 2022. Notably, January 2018 release Monster Hunter: World has enjoyed sales growth in the four years since its launch, now holding the Capcom all-time record of 21 million units shipped.
Further, March 2021 release Monster Hunter Rise has also surpassed 10 million units shipped globally, which was achieved through a variety of measures including ongoing free updates and the launch of a PC version, as well as with the release of a set that includes Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak as well. Capcom released a demo version prior to launch, garnering praise and attention for the title, which resulted in shipments of over 2 million units globally. The company will continue to leverage its digital strategy going forward, aiming to maximize unit sales with ongoing promotions, including the continued release of free additional content and pricing strategies.
Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities.
