Monster Hunter Stories
Yesterday, some more DLC for Monster Hunter Stories went live. This time around, the new content is for a collaboration with Puzzle & Dragons X (following the Monster Hunter Stories’s collaboration content in that game). There’s several things for players to download, such as:

- special background for your Rider Card;
- special titles.
