Capcom Reveals Monster Hunter Rise For Nintendo Switch, Arriving March 2021

While Capcom is currently basking on the success of 2018’s Monster Hunter World, it was imminent that a new entry would arise from the series. Especially given that the latest entry – while not a mainline installment – is not even available on the current Nintendo Switch. Howbeit, Switch owners can indulge in Monster Hunter Generations for the time being.

Granted, the game was initially available on the Nintendo 3DS, the title later received a port for the Nintendo Switch, but much of its awkward characteristics from the preceding handheld still lingers. Regardless, it does quench the thirst for Monster Hunter fans awaiting for the newest project to be revealed.

And during today’s Nintendo Partnered Direct Mini, Capcom officially unveils Monster Hunter Rise. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

“Prepare to be transported to the colorful Kamura Village, a new serene mountain locale where players will experience unique culture and innovative hunting technologies,” the synapse provided by Nintendo for the game reads. “Using a special insect called a Wirebug, hunters will be able to grapple themselves in any direction, making it possible to scale towering cliffs and structures.”

In addition to the game’s announcement, Nintendo discloses a Deluxe Edition available for fans to pre-order in anticipation for this March when the title arrives. The heftier iteration offers unique in-game content for their character among other virtual items. There are also three separate Amiibo products that will be coming simultaneously for Monster Hunter Rise as well.

Rectify Gaming’s David Rodriguez offers his time with the game to be a new and definitive experience worth having. “The hunt, the drive to defeat these beasts and conquer them, is what makes this game so great. The first time you land a trap, mount and capture or kill a monster, is a satisfaction that can’t be explained.”
