Unraveling Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2: Ailes de la ruine
The latest trailer for Monstre
Hunter Stories 2 continues to unravel some story details, and welcomes
returning characters Lilia and Reverto. It also featured a surprising number of
Hunters that you’ll encounter in your journey. Qui sont-ils? What is their
motivation for pursuing Razewing Ratha? Will they be an aid or an obstacle in
uncovering Ratha’s secret? So many questions… and we hope you’re ready to seek
out the answers on July 9.
We’ve also debuted gameplay details for Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2, giving you a glimpse of how we’ve improved
upon the turn-based combat mechanics of the first game. En plus de
three attack types (Puissance, Speed, and Technical), you can also target specific monster
parts to get part breaks that can prevent enemy attacks and add even more depth
and strategy to battles. The big new addition, cependant, is the Battle Buddy system,
which allows you to bring a buddy (and their Monstie, if they have one) à
battle alongside you. This will open up new combos and opportunities for you to
explore as you take on some of the tougher challenges in the game.
The hunt continues in Monster Hunter Rise Update Ver. 2.0
Speaking of tough challenges, I hope you’re ready for the
arrival of the classic Elder Dragon trifecta and new Apex Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise! These additional
monsters (along with a number of features) are coming in hot as the update will
be available later tonight (Avril 27th after 5:00pm PDT / Avril 28th
after 1:00 BST). Here’s the breakdown of what’s included:
Starting with the aforementioned monsters, Chameleos, le
stealthy and poisonous Elder Dragon makes its surprise return after a long
hiatus in the series. We know you’re very curious to see how the Ancient
Phantom has adapted to the new game systems… and we’re just as eager to see
your reactions to it!
Teostra and Kushala Daora are also returning, rounding out
the Elder Dragon trio. New hunting tools have come into play since we last saw
these monsters, so be sure to try out new tactics… and be ready for anything.
Let’s talk Apex Monsters now. Since launch, we’ve only
encountered Apex Arzuros, Apex Rathian and Apex Mizutsune as part of the
Rampage. Cependant, our Kamura scouts have started to spot them in the wild, et
we need you to take care of these major threats. This time you won’t have the
help of Hunting Installations, so bring your best gear and work together as
team to take them down!
Meanwhile, Apex Rathalos and Apex Diablos are storming the
Stronghold as tougher Rampage Quests are added to the mix. To those brave
enough to face these foes: good luck!
Fashion Hunting
Begins!
We know you’ve been dying to customize your looks without
having to compromise on stats and armor skills, so we’re happy to be adding the
option to craft Layered Armor in Monstre
Hunter Rise! After downloading Version 2.0 and unlocking your Hunter Rank
Casquette, you’ll be able to earn Outfit Vouchers, that can be used to craft a Layered
Armor version of any of the armor sets in the game!
Aussi, we’ll be adding new downloadable Event Quests for you
to take on. Each quest can be accessed either online or offline after being
downloaded, and will provide a unique twist to the quest itself and/or rewards.
And… watch out: some of the rewards will be Layered Armor, so stay tuned for
celles!
To wrap things up for today, we wanted to narrow down the window for our upcoming Monster Hunter Rise Update Version 3.0, now slated for launch by end of May 2021! This next update will bring in new challenges as well as an additional ending to the Monster Hunter Rise story arc. More info on that coming at a later date, so keep your eyes on our Twitter et Facebook for the latest updates.
