The Switch is, in fact, getting two exclusive Monster Hunters next year. Alongside Rise's doggy rides, players will be able to straddle the backs of a whole range of toothy beasts in Monster Hunter Stories 2, a sequel to 2017'S 3DS RPG spin-off.

Instead of the usual hunter, you're a descendant of the famed monster rider Red, and you must earn the trust of various massive creatures - including the series' staple dragon, Rathalos. Though we don't quite know how yet, Capcom have also promised the game will interact with its Switch sibling, Rise.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 is currently scheduled for a tentative Q3 2021 release.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
