Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Art Seems to Show New Hunter

During the TGS 2023 Capcom Online Program, the company shared a Monster Hunter 20th anniversary piece of art that seemed to show a new hunter. The image showed an array of hunters from past entries throughout the series. It also included the new logo for the anniversary in the upper right corner. 

Here’s a closer look at the new art. The new hunter is at the far left. It seems like it could be hinting at a remake of the original Monster Hunter game or Monster Hunter Freedom.

The first Monster Hunter game appeared on the PS2 back on March 11, 2004. Following its Japanese debut, it eventually showed up worldwide. Later, a version of its Monster Hunter G version showed up on the PSP as Monster Hunter Freedom. That entry also ended up showing up on the Wii in Japan in 2009. Since then, multiple mainline entries and spin-offs appeared. The latest major release was Monster Hunter Rise for the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. However, in September 2023 Capcom and Niantic released the mobile spin-off Monster Hunter Now. 

The Monster Hunter 20th anniversary will be celebrated in March 2024. There will be more news about what to expect from it as the date approaches.
