What is the release date for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin?

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is an upcoming turn-based RPG in which players form powerful bonds with Monsties while journeying through a changing world. As the grandchild of Red, a renowned Rider, you'll team up with Ena and a whole cast of compelling characters to find out what is making Monsties across the land go berserk.

Your life will never be the same after your fateful encounter with the legendary Rathalos.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will be released worldwide on July 9, 2021, on the Nintendo Switch and Steam. A trial version will be available to play on June 25, 2021, and all save data from this demo will be carried over into the full game.

If you have save data from the Wings of Ruin trial version, you can also receive a Kinship Talisman in Monster Hunter Rise. This talisman can be used to activate the Master Mounter and Wide-Range skills.

Pre-Order Bonus

Players who pre-order Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin by July 8, 2021 will receive the Kamura Maiden Outfit for Ena. This outfit—which is modeled after the Kamura Village hub maidens in Monster Hunter Rise—only alters Ena's appearance, meaning that it won't affect her stats or provide additional gaming content.
