The Monster Hunter X gameplay for Nintendo 3DS will be finally released in Japan on November 28, 2015, as announced recently by Capcom. The physical copy costs 5,800 Yen, while the digital form costs 5,546 Yen.
Aside from this, Capcom is expected to eventually release a new 3DS XL bundle which consists of a copy of the game, and a console with a unique and original design, for 26,000 Yen. Details about this copy will be announced further on a later date.
To those who are curious why the game was given such a title, Siliconera gives the details about this information. Quoting Monster Hunter X's executive producer, Shintaro Kojima, "Just as we said earlier, old and new elements cross over together in the game, so it bears the connotation of mingling. Moreover, the letter X looks like it divides the given space into four... so four hunting styles, four large main monsters, four villages. They're all crossing."
VG 24/7 gave us a glimpse of Capcom's live stream 30-minute footage of the Monster Hunter X gameplay. Although the commentary was in Japanese, you get the main idea of what's happening in the game. The Flying Wyvern Nargacuga, was seen again in the trailer. This character was last shown in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
As stated in Gematsu, Capcom will be introducing two new weapons in the game. These are going to be shown in videos that will be played daily in the website from August 1 to 7.
The next installment in the Monster Hunter series will be offering a lot of new features for fans to feast into. Other gamers on the other hand, would still have to wait for announcements for its Western release.
For the meantime, Monster Hunter X and its spin-off, Monster Hunter Stories will be both playable for the attendees of the Tokyo Game Show, this coming September 17 to 21st.
