Monster Hunter Rise

Monster Hunter Rise is an action game in which you become a hunter, explore new maps and take down monsters as part of a new storyline. You can hunt alone or team up with up to three other players in Hunter Hub quests. Difficulty scales whether you hunt solo or with a full four-person group.

Kamura Village

The story takes place in Kamura Village, where villagers have long feared the Rampage: a catastrophic event in which countless monsters attack at once. Fifty years after the last Rampage, you work with the villagers to face this threat.

Monsters and hunting

The monsters include returning creatures and new ones inspired by Japanese folklore, including the flagship wyvern Magnamalo. Each has distinct behavior and its own tendencies to learn. You can also control raging monsters with Wyvern Riding and use them to deal heavy damage to your targets.

The Rampage is a quest type in which you protect Kamura Village from hordes of monsters. Its battles pit you against large groups of attackers at once.

Weapons and gear

You can choose from 14 weapon types, with options for close-range and long-range combat. These include the hard-hitting Great Sword, the Long Sword, the fast Dual Blades, the Lance and the Bow and Bowguns. You can switch weapons at any Equipment Box.

Hunted monsters provide materials for crafting weapons and armor and upgrading your gear. Use those improvements to take on tougher monsters and earn better rewards.

Wirebugs and buddies

Wirebugs let you zip up walls and across maps using special silk, and perform attacks unique to each weapon type. Your companions include familiar Palico Felynes and the new Palamute Canynes.

PC features

The PC version supports resolutions up to 4K, HDR, ultrawide monitors and an unlocked frame rate. It also includes visual and performance optimizations, along with immediate access to free title updates that add monsters, quests, gear and more.
