No announcement yet. Of course its not confirmed at all, but it really is looking that way. Mhw targeting the western fans while theyll keep mh5 on switch (for japan) but it could be for both systems as well.

 

I mean why not call mhw mh5? It literally isnt a spun off (sort of) 

Capcom have said this is the future of the series and it's not a spin off. Sure they will probably do MH5 but if world sells as planned then it will surely come to other platforms and not just switch.

Well with switch exclusive, multiplat with switch, or even without it being on switch mh5 is in development.

 

The thing is...

1) MHW is primarily for the West. Dont forget even Mh4u in the west did something like 1.5mil on 3ds. Which isnt bad numbers at all (and its not aimed at them). MHW isnt proven yet to be the huge hit (i think itll do good in the west) just yet and the game comes out in 2018.

 

2) MH is a yearly franchise, no way in hell mh5 isnt being developed and they are waiting on MHW performance to see what platforms the next installment will be on. MHW is like what a 2+year development game? Maybe 3years?

 

Capcom has alreadt made up their mind. Anyone knows with a business state of mind that switch is the platform to put a MH game on in japan as MH is a portable franchise (same as pokemon).

 

Of course its not ruled out im correct. Time will tell. Wait intill tgs, i bet mh5 will be revealed there for japan only (holiday 2018!)
