is a turn-based RPG sequel developed by Capcom that trades the traditional series' intense real-time hunting for a vibrant, story-driven adventure centered on bonding with monsters. The Core Experience

: A standard run through the main story takes roughly 41 to 50 hours , while completionists can spend over 140 hours tackling post-game content like Elder Dragons and High Rank dens. Critical Reception

: You play as the grandchild of the legendary Rider Red. When the island's protector, Guardian Ratha, disappears and Rathalos worldwide begin to vanish, you are entrusted with a mysterious glowing egg said to contain a Rathalos with the "Wings of Ruin" that could bring about the world's destruction.

Released in July 2021, the game places you in the role of a "Rider"—someone who hatches, raises, and fights alongside monsters known as "Monsties".

: Instead of just slaying monsters, you explore "Monster Dens" to find rare eggs. Each egg has different patterns and smells, indicating the potential quality of the Monstie inside. Key Features

: Battles use a strategic "Rock-Paper-Scissors" system (Power, Speed, and Technical). Winning head-to-head encounters builds your "Kinship Gauge," allowing you to perform powerful cinematic Kinship Attacks with your Monstie.
