Story
The game follows two adversarial kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil as they struggle to survive against an environmental disaster referred to as "Crystal Encroachment". The player controls the heir of Azuria as they team up with the princess of Vermail, Eleanor; to help both combat the threat and help relations between kingdoms.[1][2] Eleanor is motivated to do this due to her concerns about the motivations of her sister, the Queen.[3] The story will also be centered around the existence of a Rathalos, a recurring monster from the Monster Hunter series.[3]
GamesRadar reported that the game's reveal was positively received by its fanbase.[8]Screen Rant expressed hope that positive response to the game could help counter the negativity Monster Hunter Wilds encountered in user reviews earlier in 2025.[9]
