Monster Hunter Rise (PC) News

Earlier this year, we announced plans to bring Monster Hunter Rise to PC in “early 2022.” Let’s set an actual date for this release, shall we? Monster Hunter Rise will launch on Steam on January 12, 2022!

Quick sidebar: before we move on to some of the PC-specific details, I know you’re wondering about all the fun updates we just covered above for the Nintendo Switch version. To address that, I’m happy to report that Monster Hunter Rise will launch on Steam with all major post-launch content available in the Nintendo Switch version through the end of November 2021. We’ll have more info to share on future updates at a later date.

Now, onto those Monster Hunter Rise PC-specific details… our dev team has been hard at work at implementing some popular features and requests, such as uncapped framerates, 4K resolution, high-res textures, mouse & keyboard support and ultrawide (21:9) support. Here’s some of it in action[…]

Oh? Did you catch that info bit at the end? That’s right! We’re launching a Demo of the PC version on October 13th so you can try out some of the features listed above and, if this is your first time with Monster Hunter Rise, try out a lot of the new awesome additions to our classic gameplay formula!

The Monster Hunter Rise Demo will offer two Training Quests and three Hunting Quests. The targets for those are the sharp Great Izuchi, the bubbly Mizutsune, and the malicious Magnamalo! For each quest, you’ll get to pick one of 14 unique weapon types and take at least one helpful buddy with you: your choice of Palico (trusty Felyne friends) or Palamute (all-new Canyne companions).

The Demo will also feature the new Wirebugs along with the Wyvern Riding technique. Be sure to try them both out and let us know how you feel after tasting this newfound freedom of movement and control.
