The new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection shows a more serious story and gameplay focused on nature. It shows the crisis in the kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil due to Crystal Encroachment and Invasive Monsters.
The player takes on the role of captain of the Rangers, a group that guards the ecosystem and endangered species. Your goal is to save the monster eggs before their habitat is destroyed.
The trailer highlights the Habitat Restoration system. Eggs will be found in the lairs of powerful enemies and retreat battles will be used to drive them out, not completely defeat them.
When the egg hatches, the monster is returned to the wild to reproduce again. As the Ecosystem Rank increases, it becomes easier to find rare eggs, new monsters, and Dual-Element Monsters.
The game will be released on March 13, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam), and Nintendo Switch 2.
