Monster Hunter Stories 3 Twisted Reflection

Not satisfied with proclaiming pre-orders for one franchise, Capcom has announced that you can now pre-purchase Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. The Standard Edition, as usual, retails for $69.99 and offers the base game, while the Deluxe Edition sets you back $89.99 and includes various cosmetics for side characters and a side story for Rudy due in Fall 2026.

Pre-orders can also dress up Eleanor in Skyscale Rathalos armor, though you’ll need to progress enough to equip it. If that’s not enough cosmetic goodness, the $99.99 Premium Edition packs in the Aristocratic Air DLC pack for even more companion outfits.

In the meantime, check out the latest trailer below, which teases shocking reveals (including the rider of the other, clearly villainous Rathalos). Perhaps even more surprising is that Yama Tsukami, a moss-covered, octopus-like Elder Dragon introduced in 2006’s Monster Hunter 2, appears as one of the main threats.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection launches on March 13th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and PS5. Check out the previous trailer, which showcases some Monster Hunter Wilds‘ monsters, here.
