The news was dropped on Capcom's official Japanese site . More information on the Switch version of the 3DS game will be released on May 27th at this year's Monster Hunter Championship event. Monster Hunter XX is an expanded version of Monster Hunter Generations, which was released in the West last year. Will the Switch version be localized outside of Japan? Watch this space. Or, you could just import it, taking advantage of the fact the Switch is region free.
