A portion of a GamesIndustry interview with Capcom’s VP of strategic planning and business development, Christian Svensson…
CS: Monster Hunter is an interesting one for us. It’s a phenomenon in Japan that we’re certainly trying to recreate in the West. We are strategically investing in the brand in the West, because we know that as a company we’re going to continue to be creating Monster Hunter content, so it behooves us to do what it takes to make it stick here.
GI: There was talk of charging for online play for Monster Hunter in the West?
Christan Svensson: Let’s just say that discussions about business models in the West are ongoing. We have not selected one direction or another. When we get a little closer to release we will definitely be sharing what the model will be.
