Monster Hunter Stories 2

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin has now received a confirmed Switch release date, as Capcom has today announced that the game will launch for the system on 9th July.

The news comes from today's Monster Hunter Digital Event, which is still being streamed live on YouTube and Twitch at the time of writing. The event debuted a brand new trailer for the game which you can relive in the video below.

Alongside the release date news, it was also confirmed that three of the game's characters – Ena, Razewing Ratha, and Tsukino – will be receiving amiibo figures. These will be released alongside the game and will offer in-game bonuses.
