• The story centers on twin Rathalos hatching two centuries after a war split neighboring kingdoms, with the player cast as the heir of Azuria against rising tensions with Vermeil.
• Core turn-based riding and Monstie-bonding returns, joined by a new player weapon in combat—the Longsword—and an added enemy special gauge beneath health bars.
• Exploration now allows on-the-fly Monstie switching without dismounting, including midair transitions shown in the latest trailer.
• The roster features returning favorites and new tameable Monsties, notably confirming Plesioth as a Monstie for the first time, with more reveals to come ahead of launch.
