Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Tri, the next instalment in the multi-million selling series, is to be released for Wii across Europe and Australia in April, 2010. The publisher has also revealed that Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of Monster Hunter Tri throughout European and Australian territories.
The title’s single-player story mode sees gamers taking on the role of a hunter whose village is beset by a series of violent tremors that threaten to destroy it. Charged by the village chief to discover the source of the earthquakes, players will embark on a series of quests where they must face gigantic beasts that inhabit both land and sea.
Players will have the option to form a team of up to four hunters via Wi-Fi mode, or take part in a two player split-screen Arena mode.
“Nintendo has identified Monster Hunter Tri as a key title for the Wii platform in 2010,” stated Michael Pattison, Senior Director Marketing, Capcom Europe. “We are really excited about partnering with Nintendo to further develop this franchise.”
