Overview

• Tokyo Game Show demos keep the series’ power, speed and technical triangle while adding weapon damage types and body-part targeting to deepen turn-based tactics.
• New combat meters include a Kinship Gauge for mounted super attacks and a Wyvernsoul Gauge that, once broken, stuns monsters to open heavy-damage windows.
• Exploration now features quick Monstie swapping, distinct traversal abilities, on-mount strikes against weaker foes, and environmental interactions such as harvesting and intimidation roars.
• The playable slice casts the Prince or Princess of Azuria as a Ranger captain alongside Simon, recruit Thea and Palico guide Rudy, with Rathalos again taking a central Monstie role.
• Marin Independent Journal reports a multi-platform launch on March 13, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
