In the “New World” where humans co-exist with a wide variety of large and savage monsters, a Hunter, a warrior trained to hunt and kill these powerful creatures, is separated from his team when their ship is attacked.
In the real world, United States Army Captain Natalie Artemis and her squad search for a group of missing soldiers in the desert. A sudden storm pulls them into a portal to the New World where they find the remains of the missing soldiers and their vehicles. As a Diablos, a horned, subterranean monster, approaches them, the Hunter, who is observing the group, fires a warning signal. Impervious to bullets and grenades, the Diablos attacks and kills several members of the squad.
The survivors hide in a cave, where they are attacked by a pack of spider-like Nerscyllas. Everyone is killed except for Artemis, who runs into the Hunter while trying to escape. They briefly fight before grudgingly agreeing to cooperate. Artemis learns that the portals are created by the Sky Tower, a structure located across the desert. To reach the Tower, the Hunter reveals they will need to kill the Diablos. Artemis learns how to fight using the Hunter’s unique bladed weapons and helps him set a trap for the Diablos to kill it with Nerscylla venom. The attack is successful, with Artemis delivering the finishing blow, but the Hunter is badly wounded. Carrying him on a makeshift stretcher, Artemis dutifully carries him across the desert.
The pair reach an oasis populated with herbivorous tortoise-like creatures called Apceros. The Hunter explains that both his family and the missing soldiers were actually killed by a Rathalos, a dragon-like fire-breathing monster. When the Rathalos flies by and causes the Apceros to stampede, Artemis and the Hunter are rescued by a group of Hunters led by their chieftain called the Admiral. The Admiral explains that the Sky Tower was built by the first civilization to inhabit the New World, using the monsters to protect it. Artemis agrees to help kill the Rathalos so she can return home.
In the ensuing battle, Artemis falls through a portal, returning to the real world. The portal doesn’t close in time and the Rathalos emerges and begins wreaking havoc. Artemis is able to slow it down long enough for the Hunter to slip through the portal and deliver the fatal shot.
Though she has the chance to stay, Artemis decides to go back to the New World and remain with the Hunters. The Admiral approaches her with information concerning the appearance of another monster, a black wyvern called Gore Magala. He notes that as long as the portal remains open, there will always be the threat that monsters will pass through to the real world. Artemis and the Hunter are tasked with finding a way to seal the portal for good.
In a mid-credits scene, Meowscular Chef, the Admiral’s cat-like companion, arrives to help fight the Gore Magala.

There were others.

That’s how you speak my language?
Mmm, I made a study of it.
What happened to me?
How did I get here?
I believe that the answers we both seek lie here.
At the peak of that mountain lies the Sky Tower.
Remnants of an ancient civilization.
Very advanced. Very dangerous.
It is said that the Ancients knew how to travel between both worlds.
I believe that is the purpose of the Sky Tower.
That is what brought you here.
What happened to this ancient civilization?
They destroyed themselves. Their technology turned on them.
You think my world had something to do with it.
I suspect. But an open gateway between our two worlds was catastrophic once.
I intend to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
We were on our way to investigate the Sky Tower when we strayed into the Diablos.
That’s where I lost my friend here.
Tending to the wounded and repairing the ship was our first priority.
But now we resume our mission.
The Ancients would guard their technology with the most fearsome of creatures, a Rathalos.
Almost impossible to kill.
Their only weakness is just before they breathe fire.
You help us with the battle ahead, perhaps we can help you get home.
