Capcom headed to social media to share screenshots teasing one of the character Side Stories quests we’ll get to undertake with allies in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. These are a new type of mission added to this installment to offer opportunities to spend more time with the more folks who will join the prince or princess of Azuria on their journey.
The screenshots both pertain to Princess Eleanor of Vermeil, who is part of the royal family of the kingdom that seems ready to go to war with Azuria. In the first one, we see the Prince of Azuria in a hub area, where options to have a meal, talk to NPCs, or take on other side quests appear. In one, the avatar is approaching Eleanor and gets the option to either start the Side Story with Y or press A to just talk to her for a moment. In the second screenshot, it shows that this would mark the start of the first chapter of a multi-chapter Side Story quest tied to her. It also confirms that when one of these missions start, you need to finish it before you can continue the campaign.
Here are the two Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection character Side Stories screenshots for Eleanor.


Capcom’s used social media to share these sorts of insights into Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection before. One of the last tidbits involved the character creator. Our avatar will be the prince or princess of the country of Azuria. The cosmetic options let us choose face shape, skin tone, facial features, hair styles, body types, and clothing color sets, and this also lets us see how that affects their childhood appearance.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection will come to the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 13, 2026, and it is possible to pre-order it and get Eleanor Layered Armor in the process.
