Capcom and Pure Imagination Studios are teaming to expand upon the universe of “Monster Hunter,” Capcom’s blockbuster game series that I’m only now just trying to get into.
The two companies will produce an animated special based on the series. Joshua Fine (Ultimate Spider-Man) wrote the special. Production should be completed this Winter and the special is expected to premiere globally in 2019.
The 3D animated special, dubbed “Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild,” tells the story of a brave young man determined to prove himself as a monster hunter worthy of recognition.
His chance will come all too soon when he discovers that his remote village lies in the path of an Elder Dragon—a veritable force of nature made flesh.
“We are thrilled to return fans to the universe of “Monster Hunter” and expand the series’ rich lore,” said Monster Hunter Series Producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto.
“We think die-hard fans will appreciate our dedication to the source material while those uninitiated to the series will still be treated to an epic adventure in a wholly unique world.”
At the very least this animated production should be far better than whatever the hell is going on with that live-action mess that is being worked on.
