London (December 1, 2022) The critically-acclaimed Monster Hunter Rise™ reached new heights earlier this year with the global release of the Monster Hunter™ Rise: Sunbreak expansion on Nintendo Switch™ and Steam. Receiving widespread praise for its trademark action RPG gameplay, exciting new features, and ongoing free post-launch support, Monster Hunter Rise has already sold over 11 million units. The high-flying entry to the Monster Hunter series is now opening the gates of Kamura Village to players on #xbox Series X|S, #xbox One, PlayStation®5, and PlayStation®4 on January 20, 2023. Monster Hunter Rise preorders are open now, and the title will also be available with #xbox Game Pass for console, PC and cloud at launch.

The new trailer for Monster Hunter Rise can be found on the Monster Hunter YouTube channel, and other related assets are available now to download from the Capcom Press Center.

Monster Hunter Rise is the latest installment in the action RPG series and transports players to Kamura Village, a colorful and tranquil setting that attracts visitors with its unique culture and innovative hunting technologies. The core gameplay experience in Monster Hunter Rise stays true to the previous highly-praised Monster Hunter entries. Hunters must equip their armor and select from one of the 14 different weapon types to tackle daunting foes. As players defeat monsters and progress through the game, items carved from fallen foes can be used to craft unique weapons and armor that increases their chances of survival. Hunters can tackle these challenges solo, or with up to three other hunters in cooperative online play.

Monster Hunter Rise evolves the series by introducing several new and exciting mechanics for hunters to master. Wire-based grappling actions can be performed by using a “Wirebug” while standing or in mid-air, adding an all-new level of aerial maneuverability to hunting strategies and attacks. Additionally, the game features the “Wyvern Riding” technique, which allows players to temporarily take control of a monster and yield spectacular battle sequences during hunts. Monster Hunter Rise also introduces new hunting partners called Palamutes, personalized and rideable “Canyne” companions that provide players with new sets of attack options. The “Canyne” Palamute companions join the series favorite “Felyne” Palicoes in assisting players while out on hunts.

Monster Hunter Rise features customizable optimizations, allowing hunters to enjoy their journey in 4K resolution and 60 FPS on #xbox Series X and #playstation 5, while also offering 3D audio for #xbox Series X|S and #playstation 5. Ranged and shielded weapons will also make use of DualSense™ adaptive triggers on #playstation 5. Monster Hunter Rise launches on Jan 20, 2023 and is available now for pre-purchase. The game also arrives on #xbox Game Pass at launch.

Following the debut of Monster Hunter Rise, players can look forward to the release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the monstrous expansion which will be available for home console players in Spring 2023.
