Monster Hunter Stories 2 is going to let me do gene science on giant bearsHello Arzuros I love you already
Hello Arzuros I love you already
What is better than battles between giant bears? Obviously it’s battles between giant bears that I have bred specifically to shoot giant plasma beams out of their giant mouths. Also the bear is my bestie because this is Monster Hunter series spinoffMonster Hunter Stories 2where mega deadly creatures are also my best pals. Ahead of its launch in July, MonStories 2 has shown off some of its monstie gene splicing and (obviously) I am psyched for bears.

Individual monsties come with different genes, each with an element and attack type to consider when choosing which genes another monstie should inherit. There’s a puzzle-y element to it all on a 3x3 grid, where lining up genes of the same color or type will increase their power. You can also choose to stack genes on top of each other in a slot instead.
All the gene inheriting business can be used to, as Capcom explain, give fire-breathing attacks to a monstie that doesn’t naturally have them. Or—and this is important—make an unstoppable bear with elemental powers inherited from other mega monsters.
“Yeah yeah,” I hear the MonHunt pros saying, “Arzuros, we know.” The MonHunt series still feels shiny and new here in PC land though, andMonHunt Worlddoes not have Arzuros. I will treasure my battle bears. Especially so because I’ll get to ride them instead of hunt them.
Also in today’s event, Capcom go over a new title update coming toMonster Hunter Rise, for those curious. That one is coming to PC, but not until sometime next year, mind.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin launches on July 9th overon Steamfor £50/€60/$60. It’s also launching on the Nintendo Switch.
Bears.
