One game that was shown during the Nintendo Direct that we did not have to wait long for is Monster Hunter Rise. It arrives exclusively on the Switch on March 26th.
It seems Capcom has a few more surprises in play. During today’s broadcast, we have some extra environments, Apex Monsters and the new Rampage story event, where hunters team up to defeat an onslaught of monsters attacking Kamura Village.
“The Rampage is near, and it’s more dangerous than we thought … Apex Monsters were seen interacting! #MHRise Prepare yourself for this onslaught by facing Rakna-Kadaki, Volvidon and Basarios in the Lava Caverns and confront Almudron. and Diablos in the Sandy Plains. ‘
As you can see in the trailer above, you get a little extra support from familiar faces.
This short segment was also used to remind fans that a special Nintendo Switch Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition system (with a digital download code for the game) will be released on the same date. Along with this there is a Switch Pro Controller – with striking art inspired by Magnamalo, the game’s flagship monster.
