New Monster Hunter set for Xbox 360

Out in Japan this summer

Capcom and Microsoft have confirmed their secret new game today, Monster Hunter: Frontier stepping into the limelight for the Xbox 360.

The title in question isn't strictly new, but rather a heavily updated port of the PC and PS2 original.

The game will be based on an MMO business model, and will launch in Japan initially. Subscriptions should cost 1,400 Yen per month (about 15 USD), with 360 servers separated from PC servers.

The new Monster Hunter will also require a hard disk, we hear, although more specific details remain very scant at this stage. The game will hit Japan this summer.
