Capcom has released the official story trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.
Here is an overview of the game’s story, via its official website:
What you’ve been entrusted with could bring hope or terror…
It is the night of a festival in Mahana, the central village of Hakolo Island. Rathalos all around the world are vanishing.
You are the grandchild of Red, whose Monstie was Guardian Ratha, the revered protector of Hakolo Island. Upon setting out to gain experience as a Rider, you encounter Ena, a Wyverian girl who once knew Red. In order to protect the egg that Guardian Ratha has entrusted her with, you decide to leave the island together.
There are strange things happening everywhere. As you try to figure out what is causing these environmental abnormalities, the egg finally hatches. A flightless Rathalos with small wings bursts out of the egg.
“When the wings unfurl, disaster will befall the land.”
Your life will never be the same after your fateful encounter with the legendary Rathalos.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is due out for Switch and PC via Steam on July 9.
