Capcom announced Monster Hunter Frontier G on September 2, 2012, as a major update to Monster Hunter Frontier Online for the PC and Xbox 360. The new update would include 10 new monsters, upgrade 21 current monsters to G-rank, over 150 G class weapons and armor sets, 30 new skills, 4 new elementals, and new actions for 11 weapon types.

Capcom initially stated that it had no plans to bring the Monster Hunter franchise to the PlayStation Vita, but announced a port of Monster Hunter Frontier G during Tokyo Game Show 2013. The company stated that Vita players would have the ability to share character data with the upcoming PS3 version, similar to portable releases on other platforms like the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
