Two Iconic RPGs Making Their Xbox One Debut

Two beloved entries in the Monster Hunter franchise, Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, are set to launch on Xbox One on November 14, 2025. Fans of the series rejoice, as both games will be available for pre-order starting today on the Xbox Game Store, complete with exclusive bonuses at a reduced price.

These games invite players to step into the role of a Rider, fostering bonds with unique Monsters, and embarking on expansive adventures within the vibrant world of Monster Hunter. In anticipation of the upcoming third installment, Monster Hunter Stories 3: The Fate of the Twin Dragons, launching on March 13, 2026, players can revisit the remarkable tales of companionship and conflict encountered by the Riders.

Stunning Visuals and Engaging Gameplay

Both titles will feature fully voiced character interactions in Japanese and English. Improvements to graphics will be evident, enhancing the overall experience. Additional features include an impressive Museum area showcasing over 200 design artworks, developer commentary, and the game’s soundtrack, providing players with an immersive atmosphere that delves deeper into the lore of the Monster Hunter universe.

Expect a profound narrative, focusing on the trials faced by Hunters and Riders alike, as they navigate the dangerous world fraught with the disasters termed ‘black calamity.’ The heartwarming and tragic stories intertwine, exploring themes of friendship and the growth of the bonds shared between Riders and their trusted monsters.

Engaging Multiplayer Options and Challenges

The sequel introduces exciting cooperative battles with various companions encountered during the story. Collect eggs from Monster nests spread across lush landscapes, nurture them, and develop powerful allies (referred to as Okomon). Moreover, the turn-based command battle system echoes the classic Monster Hunter thrill, where players must identify enemy vulnerabilities and strategize for victory. Throughout the adventure, participants can assemble their ideal party and engage in competitive matches or collaborative quests with other players.

Post-Game Excitement

Once players complete the story, they can obtain eggs from formidable monsters such as Teostra, Kushala Daora, and Rajang from the Monster's Nest, inviting them to join in future adventures.
