The game originally released in 2007 as <em>Monster Hunter Frontier Online<\/em> for Windows PC and was based on <em>Monster Hunter Dos<\/em> which also never saw a release outside of Japan. The live service game contained original weapons and monsters while taking a different approach to the series compared to its console counterparts. In 2013, the name of the game was changed to <em>Monster Hunter Frontier G<\/em> and again to <em>Monster Hunter Frontier Z<\/em> in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in December of 2019, service for the game was brought to an end. Producer Teruki Miyashita explained that the reason the game was being shut down was because as development continued using <em>Monster Hunter Dos<\/em> as a base, various limitations arose. Because of that, despite software updates and changing database hardware, they said it would be difficult to continue offering a satisfactory experience in the long term.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u300c\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30cf\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc \u30d5\u30ed\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30a2Z\u300d \u516c\u5f0f\u30d7\u30ed\u30e2\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u30e0\u30fc\u30d3\u30fc\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l7rOXTZEYiI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But the <em>Monster Hunter<\/em> series has continued to thrive on both consoles and PC. And with <em>Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/em>, we\u2019ve even seen the return of Espinas from <em>Monster Hunter Frontier<\/em>. Being able to meet the thorny dragon once again has been exciting for fans and the <em>Monster Hunter Frontier<\/em> official Twitter account even joined in on the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On July 5, the <em>Monster Hunter Frontier<\/em> official Twitter account made a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MHF_official\/status\/1544275748730839040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet <\/a>about what would have been the 15<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the game, with an illustration from an original designer on the game that featured standout NPCs and monsters. The tweets also invited others to share their memories and fanart with a hashtag campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it appears the account didn\u2019t want to carelessly give fans false hope. The tweets made it clear that they weren\u2019t hinting at anything to come and didn\u2019t want there to be any misunderstanding. They reiterated that an offline version or sequel would be extremely difficult for the same reasons service of <em>Monster Hunter Frontier<\/em> ended in the first place. It sounds like the problems that caused the game to shut down were never resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the message may be a bummer to fans, it was also honest of them to lay it out so clearly as to not get people excited over nothing. They likely wanted to highlight that since <em>Monster Hunter Frontier<\/em> isn\u2019t coming back, to go meet Espinas in <em>Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/em> instead.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u4eca\u56de\u306e\u76db\u308a\u4e0a\u304c\u308a\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u3066<br>\u6539\u3081\u3066MHF\u306e\u30aa\u30d5\u30e9\u30a4\u30f3\u5316\u3084\u7d9a\u7de8\u306e\u3054\u8981\u671b\u306e\u58f0\u3082\u3044\u305f\u3060\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u304c<br>\u30cf\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u306e\u7686\u69d8\u306b\u7121\u7528\u306a\u3054\u671f\u5f85\u3092\u62b1\u304b\u305b\u306a\u3044\u3088\u3046\u3001\u3042\u3048\u3066\u6b63\u76f4\u306b\u304a\u8a71\u3055\u305b\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3060\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3068\u3001<br>\u3084\u306f\u308a\u3001MHF\u304c\u5e55\u3092\u4e0b\u308d\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3068\u540c\u3058\u7406\u7531\u304b\u3089\u3001\u305d\u3046\u3057\u305f\u3054\u8981\u671b\u306b\u304a\u5fdc\u3048\u3059\u308b\u306e\u306f\u975e\u5e38\u306b\u96e3\u3057\u3044\u3068\u3044\u3046\u306e\u304c\u5b9f\u60c5\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>&mdash; MHF-\uff3a \u516c\u5f0f\u30c4\u30a4\u30fc\u30c8 (@MHF_official) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MHF_official\/status\/1544275767491989504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>Original monsters from MHF have miraculously been brought back before our eyes, so we hope you enjoy them to your heart\u2019s content!\u201d<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At any rate, <em>Monster Hunter<\/em> is a popular franchise and will continue on.
