Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild, a 3D animated special, will stream on Netflix on August 12, 2021. The animation company that is producing the special is Pure Imagination Studios. So expect something a little different from what you're used to seeing in games like Monster Hunter Rise. Aiden, the Ace Cadet in Monster Hunter 4 and the "Excitable A-Lister" in Monster Hunter: World, is the special's protagonist.

In a world where humans and fearsome monsters live in an uneasy balance, young hunter Aiden fights to save his village from destruction by a dragon. Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild premieres August 12, only on Netflix.

Synopsis

Humans, nature, and giant monsters coexist in the world while maintaining a careful balance.

A young man named Aiden who calls himself a hunter protects his isolated village. One day, he learns that his village is threatened by the Elder Dragon, a monster cloaked in mystery. Needing to find a way to save his village, Aiden leaves his home and sets off on a journey into the unknown alongside Julius, a first-rate and member of the Hunter’s Guild, and his companions…

*Hunter’s Guild: The Guild’s main objective is to protect citizens from various threats, including the Elder Dragon, which is said to be the most powerful of all monsters, and to survey and maintain this ecosystem.

Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild marks the latest Capcom offering on Netflix, following from Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and Dragon’s Dogma. There are, suffice to say, mixed opinions on the quality of these shows, and there is likely to be an excited discussion about the quality of this 3D animated special as well. In any case, get your hot takes ready for the August 12 release date of Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild.
