Monster Hunter" will celebrate its 20th anniversary in March 2024. The update of the latest title "Monster Hunter Rise: Sun Break" has settled in, and hunters are eagerly waiting for the announcement of new information. However, there is no reason not to make a big announcement on the 20th anniversary of the series, so let's wait for that moment while playing the past titles and "Monster Hunter Now.

The second visual commemorating the 20th anniversary of the series is released!
The second main visual commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Monster Hunter series has been released! The undisputed champion "Rio Leus" stands in the foreground, and the newest main monster "Mel Xena" is also in the foreground. The further back you go, the further back you can trace back through the numbered titles in the series: "Magai Magadot," "Yvelkana," "Nergigante," and so on. It's cute that there is a small Airou (Meralou?) at the far end! It's cute!
The image combined with the first main visual is also shown. The weapons and equipment are very emo, but what is interesting is that the first hunter and Rio Reus are at the very front. The 20th anniversary logo also features only the "Agito," the great sword that symbolizes the Monster Hunter series. It could be taken as a design to summarize the 20th anniversary, but I can't help but read too much into it. There is no point in thinking about it, so for now, let's just take a closer look at the main visuals that have been released.
Monster General Election!
The "Monster General Election" is now underway, in which you can vote for your favorite "favorite monster" from a total of 229 candidates that have appeared in the Monster Hunter series! Vote from the Monster Hunter series 20th anniversary special site by 11:59 a.m. on December 20, 2023 (Wednesday )! All hunters who cast their votes will receive a special wallpaper featuring all the nominated monsters. In addition, the development team will create original illustrations of the top three monsters.
The PSP hit " Narugakuruga" from "Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd G" and " Jin'oga" from "Monster Hunter Freedom 3rd" are among the top three monsters in the world, with a total of 19.1 million players worldwide. Nergigante from "Monster Hunter: World," which has sold 19.1 million copies worldwide. The lineup includes a variety of monsters, including so-called "forbidden monsters" such asMiraboreas andAlbatrion. There is even the famous Queen Langosta, who is so little known that she is not even present in the game. Just looking at them brings back memories, but you can only choose one! Vote for the monster you like best! Monsters that appeared in the "Monster Hunter Frontier" series are not eligible. Too bad.
