Monster Hunter Frontier Announced for Xbox 360

Capcom and Microsoft’s hinted collaboration was finally revealed today, as it appears that the beloved Monster Hunter franchise will be making its way to the Xbox 360 this year in Japan.

It’s worth noting that Frontier isn’t exactly original: it’s a port of an MMORPG already available in Japan for the PC. It will also come with an added fee, a 1,400 yen ($15) pass gives the player a Hunter Life Course Coupon, granting 30 days of game access and a free month of Live to boot.

Now comes the huge question…will this game come to North America? Kotaku says don’t expect it, as the PC version of the game is only available in Asian territories, and not in North America or Europe.
