New Monster Hunter X Trailer Confirms Playable Felyne Mode

Your adventure will begin in a monster rider village, but the boy soon decides to join a hunter society where he experiences adventurers that view monsters far differently to him.

Monster Hunter Stories takes an RPG approach to the genre.

Cat lovers unite! Capcom announced the introduction of playable cats or “felynes” in the newest trailer for Monster Hunter X “Cross” at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show.

According to the Capcom video below (translated by Siliconera), cats won’t be as powerful as human hunters, but they’ll be able to burrow underground to avoid enemy attacks.

The trailer shows off the game’s much more kid-friendly graphics, as well as some of the monsters you can potentially tame and ride, such as the Lagombi or the Congalala.

An anime based on the hugely popular action role-playing video game franchise Monster Hunter is being hailed as the next big thing to hit Japan. However, if Monster Hunters 3 and 4 are any indication, the Western release will likely offer extra content from the Japan release and sport a different name.
