About Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter was enormously popular in Japan for a decade before its 2018 instalment finally found a comparable Western audience. Players hunt large creatures cooperatively and craft equipment from what they recover. Capcom made it, and its 2021 film adaptation was one of the first major releases to be pulled from Chinese cinemas after a single line of dialogue drew objections.
