Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild comes at a time when established entertainment franchises are dabbling in atypical mediums across the board.

Directed by Hollywood visual effects supervisor Steve Yamamoto from a script written by The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode story writer Joshua Fine, Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild stars notable voice actors such as Erica Lindbeck, who voiced Black Cat in Marvel's Spider-Man. Legends of the Guild was made by Pure Imagination Studios, who previously developed the short film LEGO Jurassic World: Indominus Escape for The LEGO Group and Universal Studios. The film follows a young hunter named Aiden who teams up with a band of more experienced hunters to save his village from a menacing dragon.
