The hunt on the Nintendo Switch begins: In addition to the physical and digital standard edition of Monster Hunter Rise, the digital Deluxe Edition and the Collector's Edition of the title have been released. New features and techniques such as the wyvern ride enrich the versatile combat system - and for the first time it is the dog-like palamutes that support players during the monster hunt.
The Monster Hunter series debuts today with the global release of Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch a new adventure. This latest entry follows players into the village of Kamura as it prepares for the impending riot. Hunters can face these challenges alone or with up to three people in local or online multiplayer mode. Thanks to the versatility of Nintendo Switch Players can now hunt anytime, anywhere and with whomever they want!
Animal company, more monsters - new quests
In Monster Hunter Rise, the dog-like Palamutes make their debut as a new companion and the rope beetle mechanics ensure even more freedom in action-packed battles. The Palamutes join the series favorites, the feline Palicos, and support players during the hunt. In addition to their considerable fighting skills, Palamutes also serve their hunters as mounts. In this way, quickly running away monsters can be caught and the hunting grounds can be crossed quickly. Cable beetles, on the other hand, allow players to move in all directions during the hunt - that is, even to dizzying heights. They can also be combined with any of the 14 weapon types to create a silk tie attack. A hit with these attacks means that the new Wyvern Ride technique can be carried out and players can temporarily control large monsters.
In the new rampage quests in Monster Hunter Rise, hunters have to expand the village defenses with the help of the residents of Kamura in order to repel the massive onslaught of the fortress by hordes of monsters. Particularly challenging are the apex monsters that can appear during this siege. The dynamic difficulty adjustment in Monster Hunter Rise ensures that the quest difficulty adjusts automatically when other players join or leave a quest.
The new hunter connection feature allows you to create your own tag that reflects goals and play style. This enables hunters with similar interests to be found or friends to be added more quickly. After completing a quest in multiplayer mode, a "thumbs up" can be given to other players. This increases the chance of finding yourself again in the search for fellow players.
