Monster Hunter Stories will be released on September 8 in North America and Europe, Nintendo announced today.

The news came via a brand new trailer, which you can check out below:

A demo for the spinoff Monster Hunter game will be available sometime next week. Stories has already been out in Japan since October 2016.

First announced back in 2015, Stories offers a different take on the series by sporting a more traditional role-playing experience. In addition to also having a more colorful and whimsical art style, Stories put players in the shoes of a "Rider" rather than a "Hunter." Nintendo confirmed the game was headed West back in April.
