Monster Hunter Stories remaster gets June release on PS4, Switch, and Steam

eurogamer.net:

Capcom's Monster Hunter Stories remaster will launch for Switch, PS4, and Steam on 14th June. Additionally, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin — the acclaimed second game in Capcom's lovable RPG spin-off series — releases for PlayStation 4 on the same day.

Capcom unveiled its Monster Hunter Stories remaster back in February, revealing it'll spruce up the original 2016 3DS release with HD visuals, new voice overs, a museum mode featuring art and music from the game, plus additional content previously only available in Japan.

As for the newly announced PS4 version of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, it features the same blend of classic RPG-style questing, Pokémon-esque monster collecting, and turn-based battling that proved so compelling when it released for Switch and Steam in 2021.

Eurogamer gave Wings of Ruin a Recommended badge and called it a «beautifully realised old-school RPG» at the time. "[It's] a warm and kind game with fun character design, engaging voice acting and some beautiful vistas," contributor Malindy Hetfield wrote, «and even when things got grindy I wanted to keep going to meet new Monsties and visit friends old and new.»

When Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin releases for PlayStation 4 on 14th June, it'll be available in both standard and deluxe edition forms. The latter includes the game itself, alongside a range of cosmetic extras: the Kuan Coat outfit for Ena, the Razewing Armour Alpha and Beta player outfits, the Spiky Nergal player hairstyle, the Pukei-Pukei and Nergigante costumes for Navirou, and the Adventure Buddies 2 and 3 sticker sets.

Anyone that pre-orders Monster Hunter Stories 2 ahead of release will get the Kamura Maiden outfit for Ena, and players can
