The game follows two adversarial kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil as they struggle to survive against an environmental disaster referred to as "Crystal Encroachment". The player controls the heir of Azuria as they team up with the princess of Vermail, Eleanor; to help both combat the threat and help relations between kingdoms. Eleanor is motivated to do this due to her concerns about the motivations of her sister, the Queen. The story is also centered around the existence of a Rathalos, a recurring monster from the Monster Hunter series, which were said to be extinct.
