Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection producer Ryozo Tsujimoto kicked off the show by unveiling the new Additional Side Story: Rudy downloadable content, which dives into the origins of the Royal Felyne and his ancestors who came long before him. In this DLC side story, Rudy stumbles into a strange situation that unexpectedly brings him face-to-face with Navirou, the legendary Felyne who once saved the world in Monster Hunter Stories™.
Additional Side Story: Rudy is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, and Steam for $9.99. Players who have the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe Editions of Monster Hunter Stories 3 already have access to the DLC and can dive in later today!
During Rudy and Navirou’s fur-midable adventures, fans can look forward to encountering Nergigante, but the powerful Elder Dragon is not the only challenging monster that Monster Hunter Stories 3 fans will face. A free update for the acclaimed RPG is launching alongside the Rudy DLC, which brings Royal Monsters to the field! This update adds a higher level of difficulty to the Final Battle for players with completed save files. Clearing the Final Battle on Hard unlocks Royal Monster versions of almost every creature in the game, including Invasive Monsters and Calamitous Elder Dragons, for Rangers seeking an added challenge.
