As revealed yesterday, Monster Hunter XX is planned to make its big debut on Switch before the end of the year. During the opening of the Monster Hunter XX Championships, loads of details were given on the many different ways fans should be excited to pick up this release. The announce date was revealed first thing, so players can now officially look forward to picking up Monster Hunter XX for Switch on August 25. They further revealed that data from the previous title, Monster Hunter X and XX are both transferable to the Switch version. Save data will also be transferable at any time between both versions of XX, so players can choose which system they want to play on at any time.
