A Capcom insider has leaked that a new Monster Hunter game is currently in development and will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
The news first gained traction from a post published by VideoGameChronicles. The report cites Twitter user Dusk Golem – a known Capcom leaker in the past – who posted tweets that the studio has been busy developing the latest title of the Monster Hunter franchise.
Here is the tweet:
To elaborate on two things, Monster Hunter Switch is running on a Switch compatible version of the RE Engine, which is why I've been posting っ○ whenever I've been talking about it for the last few months, it's supposed to be the RE Engine logo. pic.twitter.com/x5vT4DrwYM

He also said that the company is going to reveal the new game soon alongside news that the Silent Hill game is still a long way in development. In addition, he also mentioned that Resident Evil 8’s development is going smoothly. However, this can’t be said for Resident Evil 4.
In another series of tweets, Dusk Golem also unveiled bad news about the probability of a few Resident Evil games coming to the Switch. Read the tweet here:
I will crush one dream with my RE Engine on Switch talk:
RE7, RE2 & RE3 aren't coming to Switch. They tried to port RE7 to Switch for a while one time, but had difficulty getting any satisfactory result. RE Engine games for Switch will need to be made with Switch in mind.

In 2018, Capcom clarified that Monster Hunter World is not going to be released for the Nintendo Switch. This means the game rumored to be in the works right now will likely be a new entry in the Monster Hunter franchise.
