Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin Deluxe Edition vs Collector's Edition: What comes in each edition?
Best answer: The standard version just comes with the game, but the Deluxe Edition includes Layered Armor, sticker sets, a special player hairstyle, and outfits for Navirou. The Collectors Edition has a Razewing Ratha amiibo in addition to everything from the Deluxe Edition. There are also three Monster Hunter Stories 2 amiibo.
What is Monster Hunter Stories 2?
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin differs from core Monster Hunter games in that it focuses more on hatching eggs and raising monsters to fight alongside you rather than simply going out and defeating them. It also has more of a plot centered around a special Rathalos, which you will raise and rear.
The game released on July 9, 2021, and players can order a standard version, a Deluxe Edition, or a Collectors Edition (if they can find them in stock). But what are the differences between them? While the standard version is just the game, the Deluxe Edition and the Collector's Edition come with some awesome extras.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Deluxe Edition

Avid collectors should note that there are also six amiibo from the original Monster Hunter Stories 3DS game. However, they've become some of the rarest and most expensive amiibo out there, so if you want them, you'll need to spend a lot of money to get one.

- One-Eyed Rathalos and Rider (Girl)
- Rathian and Cheval
- Barioth (Glacier) and Ayuria
