Popular Japanese RPG Monster Hunter Generations is regarded as one of the most popular titles in mobile gaming in 2015. The customary ultimate version of the game is coming soon and the trailer was recently released to reveal additional challenges for players looking forward to tackle the next version of Monster Hunter.

Monster Hunter XX Trailer Revelations

According to IGN, the trailer recently trailer for Monster Hunter XX (pronounced "Double Cross") will come with two notable features in the game. The game will feature additional difficulty level where players will have to deal with new types of monsters especially the upcoming "deviant" version of select monsters. Two additional hunting styles will also come into play for offense minded players and barrel bomb users.

Japanese Release Only?

Perfectly Nintendo reports that the upcoming game is set for 3DS release on March 18 next year. However, the release date of the game is only in Japan - a bit odd considering that the ultimate version of an existing game will also come with a date for international release. But it doesn't mean that the rest of the world will not have its day on the upcoming mobile game on 3DS since the international versions often come after five months from the original Japanese release.

Monster Hunting at Its Finest

For the unfamiliar, Monster Hunter is one of the most popular game franchises in Japan and strong following outside it. The first version of the game was released in 2004 for PlayStation 2 and the additional versions were released in various consoles particularly PlayStation Portable and Nintendo 3DS. It's a fun, exciting game with adventures that focuses on taking down huge monsters with different types of techniques.

Capcom recently announced the upcoming release of Monster Hunter XX while releasing the trailer of the highly anticipated RPG mobile game. While offering additional difficult level for players, additional gaming types are also introduced for those who wanted to try out more techniques in dealing with monsters. The date for release is already set in Japan while the rest of the world will have to wait for a few more months before enjoying the latest RPG from Capcom.
