Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection delivers another trailer
Capcom have released a new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which shows off some of the extra duties that players will have to undertake in the game, check it out.
As crystallisation spreads, invasive monsters take over fragile territories, pushing out native species and disrupting long-standing habitats. With ecosystems on the brink, Rangers step in to repel invasive monsters back into their new-found dens and recover endangered eggs of the displaced species before they are lost.
Once an egg has been rescued, Rangers engage in Habitat Restoration to reintroduce both endangered and other displaced monsters to the wild, helping each region recover and flourish. As these restored monsters begin reclaiming their territory, they can protect eggs capable of being hatched into Monsties that join the protagonist on their journey. Returning these hatched monsters into the wild directly influences the ecosystem and restores the balance of each region. Every successful restoration boosts the Ecosystem Rank of the region, making it easier to find rarer eggs, discover powerful new monsters, and hatch Monsties with special skills or genes.
Continuing to raise a region’s Ecosystem Rank can impact how new monsters are born there. Through the Dual-Element system, a monster can acquire the elemental attributes of the area where it is hatched from, gaining both new element-based skills and visual traits. For example, a Thunder-element monster hatched in a fire-element area may have fire-element skills and take on a fire-element influenced appearance. This system adds depth to how Riders build their teams, allowing them many ways to customise and form a new, exciting relationship with their Monsties while preserving the ecosystems around them.
If that was not enough, Riders looking to continue their adventure can experience the “Additional Side Story: Rudy” content when it becomes available in Spring 2026, which can be acquired individually. Riders can stay tuned for more information leading up to launch, as the world of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection unfolds.
The game is coming on March 13 for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
