Capcom Postpones Monster Hunter Showcase Following Tsunami Alert

 

Capcom has announced that its planned Monster Hunter Showcase has been postponed due to a tsunami warning issued in Japan. The event, originally scheduled to deliver new updates and world-first reveals for the beloved action-hunting franchise, will be rescheduled out of respect for public safety and in consideration of staff and viewers in affected regions.

The tsunami warning was issued after seismic activity prompted emergency alerts along certain coastal areas in Japan. Local authorities urged residents to remain cautious, monitor official instructions, and prioritize safety. In response, Capcom quickly confirmed the delay, stating that the well-being of the community comes first.

Fans had been eagerly awaiting the showcase, which was rumored to feature new gameplay details, monster reveals, and potential announcements regarding future content. While the delay has understandably disappointed many, the majority of the Monster Hunter community has expressed support and understanding, emphasizing that safety takes priority.

Capcom noted that a new date for the Monster Hunter Showcase will be shared once conditions stabilize and it is appropriate to proceed. Until then, the company encouraged fans to stay tuned to official channels for updates.

The Monster Hunter franchise, one of Capcom’s biggest global successes, continues to maintain a massive player base worldwide—ensuring that once the showcase returns, it will be one of the most anticipated events of the season.
