Capcom celebrates Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary with custom MSI components
It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since we first stepped out on our quest to become Blademaster or Gunner, but two decades later, the Monster Hunter name is stronger than ever. There's a bit of a wait until Monster Hunter Wilds releases in 2025, but thankfully, Capcom has plenty to keep us busy.
Much more than just its mainline games and spin-offs like Monster Hunter Stories, we've enjoyed 20 years of anime, manga, card games, and even a live-action movie with Milla Jovovich. There's also the might of merch, with everything from Monster Hunter-themed cars to 24K gold statues previously being up for grabs.
