It was initially released on March 27, 2008 in Japan as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (モンスターハンターポータブル 2nd G monsutaa hantaa pootaburu 2nd G?) and is an expansion to the original Monster Hunter Freedom 2. At the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, it was announced that the game would be released in North America as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite in Spring 2009. At the 2009 Game Developers Conference (GDC), the release date was further specified as June 23, 2009. The US, and the Australian demo is available for free, on the PlayStation Network on the PSP as of May 21, 2009.
A press release at Capcom's European Press Centre website states that the bundle will contain "a specially designed Monster Hunter branded PSP skin and pouch along with a copy of the game." Capcom announced that the PSP bundle would be released in Europe, but nothing specific was stated for other locations.
There was a special edition PSP bundle for the release in Japan which included the game, a strap, and a decorated Matt Bronze PSP. In addition to this bundle, people who pre-ordered the game also received a black, hairy strap. The hair on the strap was meant to be that of a monster exclusive to the game, the Nargacuga.
