Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin first launched on the Nintendo Switch and PC on July 9, 2021, garnering an even better reception than its predecessor and all but serving as a replacement for the first game at least in the eyes of many of its fans. In a lot of ways, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is the "older, more sophisticated sibling" of its predecessor, boasting improved visuals and environments, a much more serious story, and increased difficulty. Now, the acclaimed sequel is releasing once again alongside a remastered version of the first game and headed straight for the PS4 console.
