When we set out to launch Ninja Gaiden 4, we knew we had to do more than drop another game trailer. When the opportunity came to join forces with the cult streetwear brand BAIT at New York Comic Con, we sharpened our blades.

This isn’t merch. This is something far bolder: the collision of a legendary franchise, Japanese artistry, and streetwear culture. Together, we’ve created an apparel capsule unlike anything the Ninja Gaiden community—or Comic Con—has ever seen.

Here’s how it works: inside the BAIT booth, you’ll step into a sealed chamber that looks like it could belong in the Dragon Ninja’s lair. Instead of fighting fiends, you’ll wield a replica mock sword. Every swing and slash splatters vibrant crimson ink across your garment, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind wearable canvas. Fast, fluid, and dynamic like the swordplay of the two deadly ninjas, Yakumo and Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4.

The result? No two pieces are alike. Just like every battle in Ninja Gaiden, every shirt tells its own story—crafted live, in front of the crowd, with you at the center of the action.

But here’s the catch: only 500 pieces will ever exist. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—true artifacts of a moment where video games and streetwear bled together in real time. For fans who can’t make it to New York Comic Con, a limited number of garments will drop online, giving the global Ninja Gaiden community a chance to own a slice of this collaboration.

To us, Ninja Gaiden has always been about mastery, speed, and precision—and with BAIT, those values take on a new form. It’s not just about what you wear, but how it was forged.

When you step into that glass chamber, you’re not just buying a piece of clothing. You’re wielding the Way of the Ninja—turning every movement into art, every strike into style.

Only the bold will walk away with one. Will you?

When ‘Capcom Presents’ flashed across the screen during watching last week’s Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast, my pulse quickened as I prepared for something familiar from one of my favorite publishers – only to be surprised by a world I’ve yet to explore: Monster Hunter Stories. 

Even if you’ve sunk dozens of hours into Monster Hunter World and the more recent Wilds as I have, you may find yourself in a similar situation. But there’s never been a better time to get acquainted, as Monster Hunter Stories, a beloved spin-off series of the legendary Monster Hunter franchise, makes its Xbox debut next month, with the first two games arriving on November 14. 

The day after that announcement, at Tokyo Game Show, I found myself with a controller in hand to get acquainted with the next entry in the series, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, itself coming to Xbox on March 13, 2026. After an hour of exploring this new world, my ignorance has been supplanted by anticipation. If you’re new to this series – or only know the mainline games – here’s what makes Stories unique: 

A Sunnier Take on Monster Hunter 

The first thing players are you’ll likely to notice is how different Monster Hunter Stories games look; the cel-shaded art style is vibrant and inviting—a sharp contrast to the gritty realism of the mainline games. Infused with rich, bright colors across its sunny vistas, verdant fields, misty mountains, Monster Hunter Stories presents a world you want to get lost in.  

Monster Hunting Action, One Turn At a Time 

Beyond its outer appearance, you’ll feel how different Stories is from mainline Monster Hunter when you first get into combat. As you approach your first monster, rather than attacking outright, you’re thrown into a turn-based RPG battle. After being introduced to an initially simple rock/paper/scissors mechanic, Monster Hunter Stories quickly layers on a lot more. 

While ‘turn based’ may conjure thoughts of a deliberate, repetitive experience – there is a lot going on here: balancing attacks and skills, attack types and weaknesses. And you’re not just controlling the human rangers; your monster companions – called “Monsties” – can be called into battle, each with unique abilities. Want to switch tactics mid-battle? Swap Monsties on the fly or mount up for a powerful special attack. 

You’ll Ride a Lot More than Seikrets 

Speaking of mounts, the Monstie you’re riding offers up different mobility options throughout the open world. The Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo started me out with a Rathalos called, appropriately enough, Ratha – though I was able to easily switch via a radial menu to a lizard-wolf type of monster you might recognise from Monster Hunter World, called Tobi-Kadachi. Tobi could go where Ratha can’t, bounding straight up a vertical rock formation. After looking around and marking points of interest, I realized Tobi had another trick up its fur: it was less wolf and more flying squirrel, allowing me to glide straight to a chest I had spotted and marked. Very fun. 

Ratha also has a trick: when mounting it, pressing RT brings up an aiming reticle, and releasing allows it to do what wyverns do best: spit up explosive fire, assisting with breaking things, revealing resources, or initiating battle… sometimes even ending it before it starts. Again, very fun. 

It’s Still Monster Hunter 

Despite Monster Hunter Stories’ RPG trappings, in just about every element, its Monster Hunter DNA shines through. From hunting down monster materials, to forging new equipment, to collecting bugs, fruits, and metals as you explore the world, to the chatty Felynes, you’ll never forget you’re in a Monster Hunter world, even while inhabiting a different part of it. 

Most “Monster Hunter” of all are the tough-as-leather beasts that survive even the strongest attacks you can dish out, meaning that combat isn’t just a test of skill, but of attrition. After taking down a pair of bosses with unique, stylish finishers, my demo came to a close. My takeaway: even if you’ve spent dozens of hours in Monster Hunter World or Wilds, Stories will surprise you. 

Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2 arrive on Xbox consoles on November 14 of this year, with the latest entry in the series, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection following on March 13, 2026.

Our goal with Game Pass has been clear: deliver unmatched value, benefits, and a deep library of games for our players. Since launching in 2017, we’ve steadily grown our subscriber and creator satisfaction – and today, creator participation and player engagement in Game Pass are at an all-time high. But we have the opportunity for Game Pass to help more players find the creators and games they love.  

We know not everyone wants the same thing in their Xbox experience, so we’re evolving Game Pass to offer more flexibility, choice, and value to all players, whether you love day one releases, discovering hidden gems, or playing across multiple devices and screens and across Xbox consoles, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud.

Starting today, we’re introducing three upgraded Game Pass plans based on how players play: Essential, Premium, and Ultimate. Each includes expanded game libraries, including PC titles, unlimited cloud gaming, in-game benefits (including Riot Games titles), and a revamped Rewards with Xbox experience. Today’s Game Pass Core subscribers will automatically move to Essential, Standard subscribers will transition to Premium, and Ultimate subscribers will remain in the Ultimate plan.

It’s all a part of our commitment to meet players where they are, so you can choose what works best for you, no matter how or where you love to play.
