The third update for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will be released this Thursday, as CAPCOM announced today. Its highlight is the addition of three new 'monsties', the monsters that can be bonded in the spin-off Monster Hunter series.

　　Additional Monstie: Soulseer Mizutsune

　　These Mizutsune Deviants lost their eyesight but adapted to use their bubbles as another sense. The malice of an undying grudge burns within their closed eyes.

　　Kinship Skill: Sublime Transience

　　Additional Monstie: Elderfrost Gammoth

　　These Gammoth Deviants have grown so immense that their silvery backs could be mistaken for the foot of a mountain. The superstitious believe they are mountains themselves that have come alive.

　　Kinship Skill: Glacial Crater

　　Additional Monstie: Oroshi Kirin

　　Mythical beasts that very few have encountered. Unlike their cousins, their bodies are colored an ebony-black. When in their vicinity, it is said that temperatures plummet below zero, creating a frozen veil of mystery. Howling to the sky, they eviscerate prey with their horns of ice.

　　Kinship Skill: Phantasmal Horn
