Monster Hunter Riseis arguably the biggest video game set for release in March.
Capcom’s series has gone from strength to strength, really resonating with mainstream audiences with the release of 2018’sMonster Hunter World.
The latest entry,Monster Hunter Rise, will be skipping both PlayStation and Xbox platforms, however, only releasing on the Nintendo Switch and later PC.
When is theMonster Hunter RiseNintendo Switch and PC release date though? Let’s take a look.
Monster Hunter Rise Demo
Before the game releases, Capcom has been kind enough to offer players the opportunity to play not one, but twoMonster Hunter Risedemos. The latest of which can be downloaded on the Nintendo Switch right now and allows hunters to trial a range of missions.
These include a handful of different monster hunts and some training missions. Unfortunately, the player’s progress from the demo won’t carry across into the main game. To make up for this, however, Capcom is offering a “Demo Player Bonus”. This includes 20 Mega Potions, five Pitfall Traps, 10 Energy Drinks, five Mega Demon Drugs and five Mega Armorskins. Just be sure not to delete the demo save data as this will mean you can’t claim the bonus.
Switch Release Date
TheMonster Hunter RiseSwitch release date is set in stone, and thankfully, it’s not too far away. Players will be able to get their hands on a copy of the game in exactly a week’s time on Friday, March 26.
The game will be available both physically from stores and digitally from the Nintendo Switch eShop. This includes both theStandard and Deluxeversions ofRise.
PC Release Date
Initially,Monster Hunter Risewas only confirmed for release on Nintendo Switch, however, Capcom later announced the game would be coming to PC. As of writing, Capcom hasn’t confirmed a concrete release date, instead saying it will drop in H1, 2022.
Currently, the best guess would be that the Switch has a year’s timed exclusivity, so expect around or some point after, March 26 next year.
