Monster Hunter games have never been about the story, and it’s a welcome change that some effort has been put into creating a narrative that ties together more of the tidbits of lore of the game and gives players a compelling reason to push forward and take on ever harder foes.

The Commission decides to follow the migration to a new zone, promptly named Hoarfrost Reach or The Hinterlands, and establish a new base of operations for research.
