The game will also feature numerous free updates, adding new content. These include new Monsties, and higher difficulty co-op quests (which can be played with an NPC partner) for new materials for new gear. At this time, the first of these updates is live, adding the Palamute Monstie (unlocked via an egg from a Co-Op Expedition Quest).
As previously reported, the series focuses on working alongside monsters as Riders. Wings of Ruin focuses on a newborn Rathalos runt that cannot fly, while others have fled the land. However, this Razewing Rathalos is foretold to bring about the end of the world with the titular Wings of Ruin, and Hunters and Riders alike want to use it for their own ends.
Discover the mystery behind the beast and the Rage Rays breaking out across the land, beat back foes in turn-based battles along-side your monster allies, and use your bonds to bring down devastation on your foes.
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.
