About the game
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection - Nintendo Switch 2
A Rider’s Journey Through a Fractured World
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection returns with a darker tale shaped by war, extinction, and the mystery of two newborn Rathalos. On Nintendo Switch 2, you step into a story-rich turn-based RPG where bonding with monsters, exploring a broader world, and uncovering the truth drive every chapter forward.


Twin Rathalos, Ancient Conflict
Azuria and Vermeil stand on the edge of ruin when a single egg hatches into twin Rathalos marked by a legacy tied to a civil war from 200 years ago. Their birth becomes the spark behind a far greater mystery.

Turn-Based Battles with Rider Depth
Fight through tactical encounters built around the series’ Rider-and-Monstie identity. Reading enemy behavior, managing your team, and choosing the right response all shape the flow of battle.

Rangers, Ecosystems, and Endangered Eggs
As captain of the Rangers, your mission goes beyond battles. You protect endangered species eggs, respond to invasive monsters, and help preserve the land as the Crystal Encroachment threatens nature’s balance.

Habitat Restoration System
Release hatched monsters back into the wild to rebuild species populations and improve regional ecosystem health. Growing an area’s Ecosystem Rank can also help you discover stronger eggs and special Monstie traits.
Broader Exploration on Switch 2
Travel across a larger world in TV mode, tabletop mode, or handheld mode on Nintendo Switch 2. The adventure stays focused on single-player progression while giving you more freedom in how you play.
Built for a New Monster Hunter Stories Era
With a darker tone, richer RPG systems, and new layers of strategy, this third entry pushes the Stories formula forward while keeping the series’ bond-driven identity at the heart of the journey.
Game-Key Card & Internet Requirement
This physical edition uses a Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card. The Game-Key Card does not contain the full game data. An internet connection and approximately 66 GB of available storage are required to download the full game before playing.
An internet connection is also required when launching the game for the first time. After the initial download and first launch, supported offline modes can be started without an internet connection, but the Game-Key Card must remain inserted in the Nintendo Switch 2. Online modes and online features continue to require an internet connection and may require Nintendo Switch Online.

Bond the Monsters. Restore the Wild.
Uncover the truth behind the twin Rathalos and begin a deeper Monster Hunter Stories adventure built for Nintendo Switch 2.
