Both the game and the anime series will revolve around “Monster Riders,” who travel the world taming monsters rather than hunting them.

In addition to the series announcement, Capcom released a pair of trailer for the Monster Hunter Stories game, which you can check out below:

Monster Hunter Stories is being developed in-house by Capcom. The title is slated for a 2016 release, though a western release still has yet to be confirmed.

The latest entry into the Monster Hunter franchise is 3DS title Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The game, which hit Japanese retailers in February, sold over 2.4 million copies in its home market.
