Monster Hunter Orchestra Concerts have been announced for four cities in Japan, taking place monthly from August to November to share the music of the Monster Hunter series. Capcom has been running the concerts since 2014, and 2026 will see them visit Tokyo, Hyogo, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.
The concerts will be performed by local orchestras, with Hirofumi Kurita traveling to serve as composer for each. The scheduled performances are (courtesy of RPG Site):
- Tokyo International Forum Hall A – August 23 at 14:00 and 18:30
Performance by Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra - Hyogo Performing Arts Center Kobelco Hall – September 22 at 17:00 and September 23 at 13:00

Last year, the Monster Hunter Orchestra Concert visited the same cities, save for Osaka in place of Hyogo. The 2025/6 Orchestra Concert went on to perform abroad for the first time, in the USA, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. These concerts were all held earlier this year.
At Summer Game Fest 2026, Monster Hunter revealed that its latest installment Monster Hunter Wilds would be receiving a new expansion, titled Ascension. Monster Hunter Wilds will also come to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, with it currently being available on. Monster Hunter Wilds is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Before launch, Final Weapon reviewed Monster Hunter Wilds and gave it a 4 out of 5 score.
We noted that the game is “a worthy follow-up to Capcom’s most successful game ever. The revamped gameplay is the best Monster Hunter has ever been, especially with additions like the Focus Mode. Beyond performance issues, Capcom went above and beyond in creating a game I find myself unable to stop playing. With a legitimate story mode and numerous tweaks, there has never been a better time to jump into Monster Hunter for the very first time.”
