The version 1.2.0 update for Monster Hunter Stories 2 will arrive on August 5, and it adds a new co-op exclusive quest monster Kulve Taroth (thanks, Gematsu). It also includes the addition of monsters Hellblade Glavenus and Boltreaver Astalos. With the update, you can also expect new subquests, one of which will arrive tomorrow, and the others on August 19. In addition, Capcom also provided a roadmap for the game featuring information for September and October. Early September will see free Title Update 3 drop, and it comes with new Monsties Soulseer Mizutsune, Elderfrost Gammoth, and Oroshi Kirin. In late September, Title Update 4 will be released and includes Monsties Dreadking Rathalos and Molten Tigrex. It will also include the exclusive co-op monster, the high-difficulty Kulve Taroth. Come October, Title Update 5 will be released and will include another co-op exclusive monster, which will be high- difficulty. Which monster it happens to be remains a secret for now. You can also expect two new monsties in the form of Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian. Update 2 patch notes for the Switch and Steam versions of the game are below.
