One of the games shown during Nintendo Direct that we don’t have to wait long for is Monster Hunter Rise. It will arrive exclusively at Switch on March 26th.
It looks like Capcom still has some surprises to share about the game. During today’s broadcast, we saw some additional environments, Apex Monsters and the new Rampage story event, where hunters come together to defeat an attack of monsters attacking the village of Kamura.
“The Rampage is near, and it’s more dangerous than we imagined … The Apex monsters have been mixed up! #MHRise Get ready for this onslaught by facing Rakna-Kadaki, Volvidon and Basarios in the caves of lava and facing Almudron and Diablos on the sandy plains. “
As you can see in the trailer above, you’ll get some extra support from some familiar faces.
This brief segment was also used to remind fans that a special Nintendo Switch Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition system (which includes a digital download code for the game) will be released on the same date. Along with that, there will be a Switch Pro controller, with stunning art inspired by Magnamalo, the game’s flagship monster.
