Next: Genshin Impact Bringing Aloy To PlayStation a Month Early If this is the returns fans have been waiting for, hopefully, Koei Tecmo plans to bring the other main entries back as well.
Whether Monster Rancher is finally returning or if this is just a one-off for the anniversary celebration remains to be seen. The developer figuring out how to use a database for breeding monsters could mean that a new Monster Rancher title could implement a similar system in the digital age of gaming. The series had not received a new main entry since Monster Rancher EVO back in 2006 (released in 2005 in Japan.) If Koei Tecmo has more planned for the series, fans could finally get their hands on a Monster Rancher 6 after 15 years. Koei Tecmo hinted that 2021 would resurrect an older franchise at the start of the year, though it's still unclear what that is. Japan, which received the re-release last year, will eventually be able to play with players globally.įujita says that there is more in store for Monster Rancher’s 25th anniversary, though he doesn’t go into detail in the video. Players will also be able to compete with one another in tournaments through online play. The unique feature of swapping disks is also being reworked into a database for players to search through to get the monster breed they want. Along with the bundle are changes to monster balancing in the games. In a video from KOEI TECMO AMERICA, the executive producer of Monster Rancher, Kazumi Fujita, explained that both Monster Rancher and Monster Rancher 2 are coming to the West on Switch, PC, and other mobile devices as Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX. Some monsters were only unlocked with a specific CD, such as Kingdom Hearts producing one type of monster and Kingdom Hearts 2 creating another. Yet, Monster Rancher's most unique feature is swapping out discs to generate different monsters. Training regimens for monsters typically include strength, agility, endurance, and other standard stats. The player breeds different species of monsters together to produce unique combinations, similar to that of Pokémon’s IVs and natures. What made Monster Rancher such an addicting game was the process of obtaining and training specific traits of monsters.
However, none of the main releases have portable versions in the West. The series is known as Monster Farm in Japan and was a popular handheld game on PSP. One of the more cult-followed games of the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 era of games, Monster Rancher, is a JRPG that has players breed, train, and raise monsters to compete in battle tournaments and other adventures. Monsters will see a rebalance in Monster Rancher and Monster Rancher 2 as the series celebrates the 25th anniversary with a rerelease.
