There is not many details about any changes or new addi­tions to the game. More infor­ma­tion is said to be revealed at the Mon­ster Hunter Cham­pi­onship 2017. The event will take place on May 27th and will be view­able on YouTube from the Cap­com chan­nel. Eng­lish sub­ti­tles like­ly won’t be avail­able as the game has not been announced for the west.

West­ern fans still haven’t received an offi­cial Eng­lish release of the orig­i­nal 3DS game. This could be an oppor­tu­ni­ty for Nin­ten­do to secure a game for the cur­rent­ly sparse game selec­tion of the Switch. Cap­com pre­vi­ous­ly said that sales for Mon­ster Hunter XX were unsat­is­fac­to­ry in Japan so they may skip a west­ern 3DS release and just release the game for the Switch although this is just speculation.

More details on the game can be seen on the Japan­ese Cap­com web­site.
