Exciting news for Switch owners as Monster Hunter Stories is set to make its debut on the platform on June 14th, 2024. This release offers players the opportunity to delve into a game that may have been overlooked during its initial launch on the 3DS. With improved graphics and performance, the Switch version promises to be the ultimate way to experience Monster Hunter Stories.

However, fans of the collaboration between Capcom and Nintendo that brought Legend of Zelda-themed content to the game may be disappointed. Exclusive DLC featuring Link and Epona-inspired elements, including the ability to dress as Link and ride an Epona-themed horse, will not be making its way to the Switch version. Producer Yoshihiro Akira confirmed in an interview that this content will remain exclusive to the 3DS platform.

While the reasons for this decision were not explicitly stated by Capcom, it has been clarified that any collaboration content from external parties will not be included in the Switch release. Despite this setback, there is hope that Capcom-developed DLC may be introduced to the Switch version in the future.

For fans eagerly anticipating the Switch release of Monster Hunter Stories, the absence of the Legend of Zelda DLC may come as a disappointment. Nevertheless, the game is poised to offer a captivating experience on the popular console, allowing players to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Monster Hunter Stories.
