The acclaimed Monster Hunter Rise from Capcom‘s award-winning Monster Hunter series is now available for $39.99 for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.
To overcome the looming Rampage, the hunters of Kamura make use of the new Palamute hunting companions and ‘Wirebug’ grappling mechanic as they engage in the series’ trademark action-packed combat. Damaging monsters with these new attacks makes them susceptible to the new ‘Wyvern riding’ technique, which allows players to temporarily take control of a monster and yield spectacular battle sequences during a hunt.

A new Rampage mission type in Monster Hunter Rise allows players to take on hordes of enormous creatures while they aren’t exploring the five vast locations, which include the Shrine Ruins, Flooded Forest, and Sandy Plains. In these quests, hunters work with Kamura citizens to build defences and watch over the Stronghold barricades as waves of advancing monsters attack, including any formidable Apex monsters that may show up during the siege.
Monster Hunter Rise also includes new features to improve joining up with others for hunts.
Upon completing a quest in multiplayer, players are also able to like the other hunters in their party, and increase the odds of finding each other in matchmaking.
Along with a brand-new game style, Monster Hunter Rise also adds new ‘Switch Skills’ for each weapon as players progress through the game. Players can create entirely new combos and strategies that fit their preferred playing styles by substituting these new talents with current Silkbind or ordinary assaults.
Other new features in Monster Hunter Rise also make it easier to team up with others for hunts. The multiplayer’s dynamic difficulty scaling automatically adjusts itself as new players join and exit hub quests. Players can now create tags with their goals and playing styles, look for other players with the same tags, or invite friends to any tags they have joined, thanks to the new ‘Hunter Connect’ feature. Players can like the other hunters in their party after finishing a task in multiplayer, which improves their likelihood that they’ll run into each other in matchmaking.
For Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, Monster Hunter Rise features 3D audio and adjustable optimisations that let players experience their quest in 4K resolution and 60 fps. DualSense adaptable triggers are also used by shielded and ranged weapons on the PlayStation 5. In addition, the massive paid expansion Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will be released in the spring of 2023.
