Capcom today dropped a new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and it is fantastic to get to see additional details about this game's story revealed. Take a look:
In an accompanying press release, Capcom broke down the basics of the story. "After assuming the role of a young Monster Rider who can use a Kinship Stone to form strong bonds with monsters, players will encounter Lilia and Reverto, who will return from the original Monster Hunter Stories. The duo are on a mission to capture your companion Razewing Ratha before it can awaken its destructive power foretold in the prophecy of the Wings of Ruin. Hot on their heels are a group of Hunters and Riders who seek to capture Razewing Ratha for their own nefarious purposes. More details on how these returning characters interact with the previously revealed cast, and the player’s journey to either save their friend or save the world will be revealed soon."
The visuals we've seen so far for this game are beyond impressive, and its great to see a fun, animated take on monsters we've grown to know and love in the primary game series. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is scheduled to release on July 9, 2021 on Nintendo Switch and PC. Preorders are now open on both platforms.
