Monster Hunter Rise it already topped the charts in Japan during its first week: it swapped more than 1.3 million physical copies and shipped four million units worldwide, and now Capcom has revealed its latest milestone.
All in all, more than five million copies of the latest entry are now available (including physical and digital sales), with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 66 million units as of December 31, 2020, since the debut of the original game in 2004.
If you don’t have this game yet, what are you waiting for? We gave it an excellent nine out of ten stars and described it as another “cold classic” for Nintendo Switch:
“New mechanics, monsters and a gorgeous setting make Monster Hunter Rise a brand new high water for the franchise. Wirebug, Switch Skills, Palamute and carefully thought-out monsters shake things up enough to make the game feel cool for hunters who had previously spent thousands of hours with the series and while the package could be a bit intimidating for newcomers, it’s possibly the perfect place to start if you want to get into the franchise.And with an unmatched Four-player multiplayer experience, the new Rampage missions are explosion. After a serious time with the game, it’s very easy to say that Monster Hunter Rise is one of the strongest entries in the franchise to date and another classic for the Nintendo Switch. “
There is a new update scheduled for the end of the month as well; this will bring the game to version 2.0 and add more monsters to it.
