Monster Hunter Rise

In Monster Hunter Rise, the player becomes a hunter, explores new maps and uses a variety of weapons to take down fearsome monsters as part of an all-new storyline. The monsters range from classic returning ones to new creatures inspired by Japanese folklore, including the flagship wyvern Magnamalo, and each has its own behaviors. The game has 14 weapon types, from the Great Sword and Long Sword to Dual Blades, Lance, Bow and Bowguns. Monster materials are used to craft new weapons and armor and to upgrade existing gear, and weapons can be changed at any Equipment Box. The story is set in Kamura Village, which has lived in fear of the Rampage, an event where countless monsters attack the village at once. Wirebugs let hunters zip up walls and across maps, and they power a special attack for each weapon type. Palico Felynes and Palamute Canynes fight alongside the hunter, and Wyvern Riding lets the hunter control a monster. The Rampage is a quest type where the hunter defends the village from hordes. Up to four players can hunt together online.
