A new Monster Hunter game for the Nintendo Switch had already been leaked recently, which also claimed that the game would run on a Switch compatible version of the RE Engine. Both leaks turned out to be true.
The only Monster Hunter game released on Switch so far is the port of the Nintendo 3DS game Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, making this the first made by Capcom specifically for the Switch.
Further news could be shared at the Tokyo Game Show, which will be held from 23 to 27 September and of which Capcom will be a guest.
