As the 20th anniversary of Monster Hunter draws near, fans have been eagerly anticipating Capcom's Special Program for the occasion. Many have been wondering if we'll get a glimpse of Monster Hunter Wilds.

The Special Program is scheduled to be livestreamed on March 12, 2024, starting at 4 am PT/ 7 am ET/ 12 pm GMT/ 1 pm CET. It's expected to last about two hours and will cover various topics related to the Monster Hunter series.

However, the announcement has dashed hopes of any updates on Monster Hunter Wilds during this event. Instead, fans need to wait for more details about the next installment in the Monster Hunter series a little while longer, as the information is reserved for a summer 2024 reveal.

The upcoming broadcast will cover the results of the 2023 "Favorite Monsters" poll, revealing the top ten monsters from the entire franchise. Additionally, there will be special guests and insights provided by the directors of the Monster Hunter series.

While the wait for Monster Hunter Wilds may be tiresome, there is an exciting Monster Hunter game making a comeback in Summer 2024!

I'm talking about Monster Hunter Stories, which originally debuted on the Nintendo 3DS. The first installment of the Stories series is being re-released for PC, PlayStation 4, and PC with enhanced graphics including improved modeling, textures, lighting, and both English and Japanese voiceovers.

New to the Stories-series? No worries, here is a quick summary!

The Monster Hunter Stories franchise takes you into a world where rather than hunting them down, characters build relationships with the franchise most beloved Monsters, or also called "Monsties". This unique approach leads to forging deep bonds, fostering cooperative adventures alongside these creatures. Moreover, the games incorporate a breeding system, adding depth to the experience.

If you're seeking some quality bonding time with your Monsties, the Monster Hunter Stories games are just what you need!
