Monster Hunter Stories 3 is Getting a Big Free Update in Summer 2026

Monster Hunter Stories 3 launched on March 13th and is already a hit with fans. As the third game in the Monster Hunter Stories series, it’s being praised for its engaging JRPG gameplay, which centers around raising and breeding powerful monsters called Monsties. The combat system blends elements from the main Monster Hunter games, letting players target specific enemy parts to reduce their attack power. Capcom recently announced a free update will be coming to the game just a few weeks after its release.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Free Summer Update Will Add Royal Monsters

Capcom isn’t treating this update as just a small addition. According to producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, players with fully leveled Riders (level 90 and above) will face challenging battles requiring their best Monsties and tactics. This means the update is designed for endgame players, not those still in the middle of the game. Several gaming sites, including Siliconera, RPG Site, and Nintendo Life, all agree on this point.

A Long-Running Elder Scrolls Game Is Quietly Shutting Down

I was pretty bummed to hear that The Elder Scrolls: Blades is shutting down. I remember when it first came out on mobile back in 2019, and then later on the Switch in 2020. It’s been a while since they updated it, so honestly, it wasn’t a huge shock. They sent a message in the game saying the servers will be turned off on June 30th, and since there’s no way to play it offline, that’s it – the game is over. It’s already gone from the app stores and the Nintendo eShop, which is kind of sad.

Reports also show that Spiders was working on another game, internally called Dark, but it was cancelled in June 2025. Details about Dark haven’t been shared, except that it was planned to be based on an existing license.
