Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a rather good game, an excellent sequel in the spin-off series and a good jumping in point to the franchise for those that prefer RPGs to intense real-time hunts. Just like the mainline entries Capcom has also stayed busy with frequent free updates, in particular boosting the co-op side of the game. If it draws you in it's a title that can keep you busy for months.
Capcom has now released a flashy new trailer (above) for Update #4, which is rolling out in two phases. This week (30th September) we're getting a Molten Tigrex Monstie, a high difficulty co-op exclusive Kulve Taroth to hunt, and four new quests overall.
Then on 7th October we get a rather cool-looking Dreadking Rathalos Monstie along with an even bigger batch of 7 new quests, four of which are co-op.
In the current roadmap there is one more update due in October (likely late in the month), and overall the updates have done an excellent job of keeping the game ticking along.

Love this game, but did need something to get me back into it, so good stuff.
Capcom found its cashcow. But it works. Its a good game.
@DomGC I hate this kind of model for a story driven JRPG. Once I finish with one then I move on and never head back so I prefer all the content to be there in the game at launch so I can experience it all when I play. Finished Stories 2 within a week of launch so all this extra stuff is just content that didn't exist for me.
I bought this game at launch and got about 15 hours in before Skyward Sword HD came out. Then, I started playing other games and haven't went back yet. So unfortunately I think I will have to restart the game to fully enjoy it but all of these updates have fleshed the game out so that makes it worth it.
Unless they're going to add more story DLC I kind of feel like additional monsties is pointless. It's great if you're super into PvP, but otherwise meh.
@DomGC
Considering the game isn't that old at all, not even 2 months old at this point the statement of "so long after release" is an awful one. Further to add, just because you won't use what it's giving, it doesn't make it pointless.
Can we not just be happy they are providing free additional content rather than grumbling because you feel it isn't for you? Or because you played so much of it and burned yourself out (surely that's to the games credit?).
It seems like you expect to much, it's MH meets Pokemon but also more, which is only a good thing.
Note in the comments alone its made at least one person go back to it. An of course they would want to support a part (pvp) of the game that they feel is something, it's just a shame that you don't think much to it.
Again, they should be applauded, they don't need to do this, an I am thankful they do.
