The mainline Monster Hunter series will debut on the Switch 2 this December with the release of the new entry Monster Hunter Wilds.
In case you missed it, during the Japanese Direct this week, Nintendo (and Capcom) announced hunters in this location will be able to pick up not only the game on 4th December 2026, but also a brand-new Switch 2 bundle.
This bundle will include a standard Switch 2 unit and Joy-Con 2 controller, as well as a digital copy of the game and a three-month Switch Online subscription to join other hunters online.
Reservations for the Monster Hunter bundle are currently being accepted on the Nintendo Store in Japan for 61,980 yen.
