Monster Hunter Stories 2 is going to update with cute doggies

The story of one boy’s quest to keep dangerous, exotic animals as pets will release on July 9th, but apparently the stuff won’t stop there as Capcom has detailed an extensive update schedule for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. The suite of free updates, some of which were previously announced, kicks off with the addition of Monster Hunter Rise‘s signature Palamutes, the adorable rideable dogs, on July 15th.

Monster Hunter Stories is an RPG spinoff of the main-line Monster Hunter games focused around collecting and training, rather than hunting, the series’ titular beasts—called Monsties in the much more family-friendly Stories. The first game in the series was released for Nintendo 3DS, and Stories 2 is a standalone game.
