The Game Awards was the home to a new trailer for Monster Hunter Rise for the Nintendo Switch. This new video for the latest in the action-RPG series showed off two new monsters, several returning monsters, and parts of the new area that players will get to explore.
The new trailer also revealed an early look at the "Rampage" events that threaten the game's primary location, Kamura Village.
A demo will be released for the Switch in January 2021. This is just two months ahead of the game's planned March 26, 2021 release.
Revealed today, two entirely new monsters will be making their Monster Hunter debuts in Monster Hunter Rise. The trickster Bishaten arrives as a unique new threat with its distinctive tail and fondness for persimmons, which it stores in his stomach and hurls at its prey. Adding to its offensive arsenal, Bishaten is also equipped with multiple tail attack options and powerful spin moves that will require hunters to stay on their toes or risk getting swept off their feet. Also new to the line-up, Somnacanth is an intoxicating aquatic leviathan that can expel sleep powder to temporarily stun opponents, leaving them open for attacks.
The latest trailer also includes sightings of the scaly leviathan Royal Ludroth and the poisonous birdlike Great Wroggi, both of which are returning to join the growing roster of foes in Monster Hunter Rise. In addition to the previously announced Shrine Ruins hunting grounds, the new Flooded Forest area will provide players the opportunity to explore and battle fierce monsters in this overgrown and water-logged setting.
The puzzling “Rampage†events that threaten Kamura Village and its denizens were also featured in the trailer, as it appears residents and Monster Hunter Rise players will need to build up their defenses and prepare for the battle of their lifetimes. More information regarding the “Rampage†will be revealed in the months ahead.
