Nintendo and Capcom have released a new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories. Included with this new trailer was the release date for the game in North America, which will be September 8, 2017. This confirms that North America will be receiving the game the same time as Europe. A demo will be available to both regions through the eShop on August 8, 2017.

Monster Hunter Stories is a spinoff game that eschews the series' gameplay in favor of a more traditional, story-driven RPG. The game will be available exclusively on Nintendo 3DS.
