Capcom Is Already Preparing For Monster Hunter’s 20th Anniversary

As is traditional for this time of year, Japanese publication Famitsu has been asking prominent developers what their plans and ambitions are for 2022, and one of the people interviewed is Capcom’ s Ryozo Tsujimoto – the man in charge of the company’s prestigious Monster Hunter franchise.

Tsujimoto Is clearly focused on delivering Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the next DLC offering for the most recent entry in the series, but he adds that there’s a big anniversary coming up soon, and that he will have to devote some of next year to prepare for it:

In 2022, I’d first like to deliver Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, which is scheduled for summer, to everyone in solid shape. And the Monster Hunter series will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2024, so I should start making preparations for various things soon.

Monster Hunter began life on the PlayStation 2 before spreading its wings to other systems, including the Wii, Wii U, 3DS and – of course – Switch.
