Last time Capcom spoke of Stories 2, it was back in 2022. By that point, the game had sold 1.5 million copies, so the jump to PS4 appears to have helped it cross the finish line. At time of writing, there's no word on if the game will come to current-gen consoles.

All Monster Hunter games matter

Monster Hunter has several spinoff series under its belt, and the original Monster Hunter Stories released back in 2016 for the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike the mainline games, the Stories titles are turn-based RPGs wherein players capture and befriend monsters.
