Two newborn Rathalos, two nations, and a fate that intertwines. - Azral and Bulion are two kingdoms on a path to ruin. Amid an existential crisis, a fossil egg hatches and a supposedly extinct Rathalos is born. What seemed like a sliver of hope soon plunges people from hope into despair - the hatchlings are twin Rathalos with azure scales, the same ominous "Twin Dragons" feared as ill omens during a civil war 200 years ago. As the environment decays and monsters face extinction, dark portents once again spark the threat of war between both nations. What truth will the Rider - bound by kinship to Rathalos - seize from the torrent of fate? [Gameplay] / Evolved field actions: Enjoy athletic, ride-focused exploration that emphasizes each monster's feel. Swap Monsties without changing screens; traversal actions like Wall Climb and Flight are smoother than ever. Use ride actions like "Breath" or "Melee Attack" to tag field monsters and start battles with an advantage. / More ways to win in battle: The turn-based command battles built on the Power/Speed/Technical triangle evolve further. Keep the "rock-paper-scissors that feels great when you win," while expanding strategic options. / Three attack types: Power beats Technical; Speed beats Power; Technical beats Speed. / Head-to-Head & Double Action: When you and a monster target each other, a Head-to-Head occurs. Win with the advantageous type to deal heavy damage and boost the Kinship Gauge. Target the same foe as your Monstie and win the Head-to-Head to trigger a Double Action - deal damage, greatly raise Kinship, and cancel the enemy's attack. / Part Breaks: Each monster part has durability; reduce it to 0 to break the part. Gain bonuses such as dropped materials or sealing specific actions. / Dragonforce Gauge: Represents a monster's fighting spirit. Reduce it to 0 to Break the monster, lowering its Dragonforce Stock and inflicting Fatigue, making your evasions easier. Deplete all stock to knock the monster Down. / Synchro Rush: Downing a monster enables Synchro Rush, dealing heavy damage and greatly increasing the Kinship Gauge - your chance to chain into Kinship Skills and other big moves.
