In a new developer message, Capcom announced that a free update for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection will add “Royal Monsters” in summer 2026. Further, the Additional Side Story: Rudy DLC may release earlier than expected.
In a video, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto states that the upcoming free update will add more powerful versions of monsters, titled Royal Monsters. He explains that “riders of level 90 or above will need to prepare carefully and use their strongest Monsties and strategies to defeat to them.” He also reveals that due to development on the Additional Side Story: Rudy DLC progressing faster than expected, Capcom may release it earlier than expected.
Check out the Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection developer message, outlining the upcoming “Royal Monsters” free update and other DLC information, below:
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Final Weapon reviewed the game and gave it a 4/5. We described it as a game that “holds the main series traditions close to its heart while building on top of the already solid base of its predecessors.
Egg Hunting, quelling unnatural events, monster raising, and roaming vast maps are still here, while being enhanced by some fresh, new ingredients, which fit snugly between the Environmentalist themes and Monster rearing gameplay. Through and through, Monster Hunter Stories 3 is a richly detailed and gorgeous experience that any fan of Monster-Raising RPGs is sure to enjoy.”
Lastly, Capcom will reveal more details about the upcoming free updates and DLC coming to Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection at a later date.
