The latest work of Capcom's Monster Hunter series "Monster Hunter Rise", which was released on March 26, 2021 (Friday), is a trial version distributed in January. ”, I was able to experience new elements such as traveling on Otomogaruku, but new elements will appear in the new videos released after that. There is only the latest work in the series, so you can see how big "Monster Hunter Rise" is. While looking forward to the next information, it will be delivered to "Monster Hunter Special Program 2021.3.8" on March 8, 2021 (Monday)! New information has been revealed!

The appearance of popular and formidable monsters such as Zinogre and Nargacuga has been revealed. And the monster that appeared at the end of the PV is...!? ? You can find out everything by playing "Monster Hunter Rise"! I'm looking forward to the release!

Review so far

As the release date is approaching, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has reviewed the information so far and announced a little new information. If you look back at "Shoumu", "Soryu", Otomogaruku, fields, and monsters that appear, a lot of information has been announced so far. And new information! Shochu's new action "Swapping Technique" has been released!

"Swap technique" is an element that allows you to replace some of the normal attacks and iron insect thread techniques with other techniques as the game progresses. It is said that each weapon has 3 "Swap Moves", so try various things and find your own way of fighting! It seems that the product version has iron bug thread techniques that were not implemented in the trial version, so let's look forward to it.

New information about Hyakuryu Yakou!

The word "Hyakuryu Yakou", which is likely to be the heart of this work, has appeared since the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise. There was also a video of many monsters attacking Kamura's village, but what it actually was was shrouded in mystery. Director Yasunori Ichinose has announced information on what "Hyakuryu Yakou" is like!

"Hyakuryu Yakou" is a quest to defend Kamura's village from a horde of monsters. The goal is to use hunting equipment to repel monsters and defend the fort. The quest will be cleared when you defend the fort until all the herds are finished, or when you subjugate the last big game.

We will use the preparation time until the swarm of monsters invades to set up hunting equipment. Let's devise and install it so that it is easy to repel.

If the "counterattack signal" rises during the monster invasion, the hunter's attack power will increase greatly. At this time, the hunter will have a chance to wield his weapon and give a direct attack. Allies from Kamura's village will also participate in the defense and will be a powerful helper.

The "big" monsters that lead the herd,

There are also more powerful individuals called "Nushi". It is the hunter's job to defend the fort and fight off those monsters. Let's work together with the village guardians to protect Kamura's village from Hyakuryu Yako!

About quests

There was also information about the main quests in the Monster Hunter series.

In this work, there are village quests for single play only, and meeting place quests that can be played in single or multiplayer. It's the same as the previous series.

For multiplayer, up to 4 people can gather in the same lobby via internet or local communication. Members of the same lobby can participate in quests from the quest board inside the Gathering Hall. It is also possible to participate in the quest in the middle of the quest and the convenient function to participate in the quest in the lobby from the shortcut.

There are 4 levels of difficulty for quests, from 1 to 4, depending on the number of participants. You can assume that the more people there are, the more difficult it will be. It seems that it will change even if you join or leave during the quest, so it's safe even if you suddenly become alone.

Even when you're playing the Gathering Hall quest alone. Matching with other players via Internet communication with "Join Request". You can play together. Get help from hunters from all over the world when you're challenging difficult quests alone!

By setting an arbitrary tag called "Hunter Connect", players can easily match with other players who have the same goals and tastes.

You can participate in "Hunter Connect" by creating it yourself or by being invited by another player. You can also invite other players to participate in "Hunter Connect".

There is a "good" function as a mechanism to connect with the person you played with. You can send "Good" to other players with the four-way controller until you return after clearing the quest in multiplayer. When you "good" each other, you become a "mutual good" relationship, and you can find each other's lobbies directly.

Camera function to capture memories of hunting

In this game, a camera function that captures the moment of hunting will be implemented. You can adjust the zoom and composition, and the name of the subject is written on the photo.

The photos you take can be viewed on the Nintendo Switch itself or in the in-game album.

When you want to take a selfie, the owl photographer will help you, so it's perfect!

It was announced that "Monster Hunter Rise" will have interlocking elements with "Monster Hunter Stories 2 ~Wings of Destruction~" announced at the same time. I think many people were looking forward to such an element, but the initial rider equipment of "Monster Hunter Stories 2 ~ Wings of Destruction ~" can be used as layered equipment in "Monster Hunter Rise". It was announced as a present! I think it will be implemented after the release of "Monster Hunter Stories 2-Wings of Ruin-" on Friday, July 9, 2021, so let's wait for the details!

In addition, the "Deluxe Kit", which will be released as a set with the software as paid download content, hairstyle, face paint, player voice, Palico's layered equipment, etc., will be on sale on the same day as the software! Create your own character and show off your individuality!

It has been decided that the free trial version that was very popular in January will be distributed as "Monster Hunter Rise DEMO Version 2" on March 12, 2021 (Friday)!

"Monster Hunter Rise DEMO Version 2" has the same basic training quests, dragon training quests, quests for beginners to subdue Osaichi, and quests for advanced users to subdue Tamamitsune. Subjugation" will be newly added! It is said that it has been adjusted for this trial version, so it seems that you can not understand everything about Magai Magado, but it is a chance to fight the main monster as soon as possible! For those who have data from the previous trial version, updating to this trial version will add the subjugation of Magai Magado and reset the number of quest departures, so you can start hunting again. It is said that "Subjugating Magai Magado" is quite difficult, but let's aim to clear the quest!

If you have saved data from the trial version, you will receive a [Trial version play bonus] item pack in the product version, so don't delete the data after playing.
