Overview

Monster Hunter Rise is a high-fantasy action-RPG developed and published by Capcom (Company) for the Nintendo Switch (Platform) on March 26, 2021, with a later digital PC (Platform) release on January 12, 2022. It is the sixth mainline installment of the Monster Hunter (Franchise) series (after Monster Hunter: World (Game)) and builds on the gameplay of its predecessor with new gameplay mechanics (such as the "Palamute" dog-like companion, the "Wirebug" grapple system, and the "Rampage" tower defense scenarios). The game's story is set around Kamura Village, whose inhabitants believe that a mysterious calamity known as "The Rampage" is about to bring a large horde of frenzied monsters towards the village. Players control a customizable Hunter recruit, as they attempt to stop the Rampage from happening (later revealed to be caused by the Elder Dragons Ibushi and Narwa). The game later received an expansion DLC, known as Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, on June 30, 2022. Along with an upgraded endgame and a new gameplay system (the "Switch Skill Swap"), it features a new story set in the far-away land of Elgado.
