A New Monster Hunter Game with a Japanese Theme

The latest installment in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Rise introduces a world with traditional Japanese influence. The Japan-only release “Monster Hunter Portable 3rd” was also based on a Japan-esque setting, but Monster Hunter Rise brings the imagery of feudal Japan to new heights.

New Monsters Based on Japanese Demons

Each of the new Monsters introduced is based on influence from Japanese demons of folklore known as “Yokai”. The developers have stated their intention to further characterize each Monster, leading to creative new designs never before seen in the series.

New Possibilities with the Wirebug

New techniques are unlocked with the introduction of the Wirebug item. The Wirebug allows the hunter to soar through the air, making it easier than ever to traverse the map and get the drop on Monsters. The Wirebug also combines with each of the 14 weapons to yield Silkbind Attacks, each of which are unique to the associated weapon.
