Capcom Europe recently visited Universal Studios Japan, and got to see the third “Monster Hunter the Real” event, which features large-scale, animatronic depictions of the creatures from various Monster Hunter games.     This year’s event celebrated ten years of the Monster Hunter franchise, with Monster Hunter-themed food, a gaming lounge and more. Also present at the event were animatronic creations of Wyvern couple Rathian and Rathalos. You can view a summary of the event in the video above.   The next Monster Hunter game from Capcom will be Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Japan will get the game sometime this Fall, while the West will see it in early 2015.
