MH Rise Demo Version 2

New Demo Version 2 In Monster Hunter Rise

One of the most exciting news from the March 8 digital event is the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise Demo Version2 that will be available from March 11 (PST/EST)!

How To Get New Demo

If you haven't already downloaded the demo, simply download the demo on your Nintendo Switch and you'll find all the past and new quests. If you already have the Version 1 of the demo released last January, simply update your game to have the new quest added to your software.

New Quest: Slay Magnamalo

The version 2 of the demo features a new quest called "Slay Magnamalo" where you can try your hand at defeating MH Rise's main monster! The demo will have fixed armor but of course you're free to customize in the actual game.

New Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise

Nargacuga

The newest monster announced to be a part of MH Rise is Nargacuga! It's a flying wyvern monster known to inhabit forests and highlands. It descended into the village during the Rampage and wreaked havoc along with all the other monsters that invaded the territory.

Chameleos

Another new monster announced in the March 8 digital event is Chameleos, an elder dragon that first appeared in Monster Hunter 2. Known for its long and elastic tongue as well as its poison attacks, it's truly a force to be reckoned with.

MH Rise Final Boss May Be An Amatsu Look-Alike

The 5th trailer for MH Rise highlighted during the March 8 Digital Event showed a mysterious monster at the very end of the scene. The monster's appearance look different from usual monsters, leading us to believe that it's an ancient wyvern. The final boss of Monster Hunter 3G called Dire Miralis was also given a preview at the end of its trailers, and given how this monster was shown for MH Rise, there's a big chance that this monster is the final boss.

Other Confirmed Monsters

Zinogre was featured once again in the 5th trailer along with several other monsters that were previously confirmed in earlier trailers.

New Features in Monster Hunter Rise

Switch Skills

The newest and arguably most exciting feature of MH Rise is the ability to switch between Silkbind attacks as you can see on the image above!

New Wirebug Moves

Although we've seen plenty of new exciting wirebug moves so far, it seems that there will be even more for us to discover in the following days leading up to the release of the game. Stay tuned for new info!

New Downloadable Content (DLC)

The newest DLC features a what is called the "Deluxe Kit" which includes the "Kamurai" layered armor set, hairstyle, face paint, hunter voices, and buddy layered armor.

New Multiplayer & Coop Features

Join Quests With Friends Or Randomly

You can use "Join Requests" to play with other gamers in MH Rise online. You may also find other hunters with similar playing styles and join them on their quests. Up to 4 players can play at once.

Varying Quest Difficulty

The difficulty of the quest will vary depending on how many people are in the game and will change as players come and go.

Reconnect With Hunters

If by any chance that you liked your playing experience with certain hunters in a quest, you'll be given an option to "like" them at the end of the quest. If the "like" was mutual, the software will make it easier for you to be able to match with them again in future games.

The Rampage

More info on the Rampage was given in the March 8 digital event! It appears that you'll be able to prepare your defenses ahead of time before the monsters come in hordes. This is key in protecting the village. "Counter Signal" increases the attack of hunters, so take note when this mode is activated. The goal is to defend the stronghold and fend off the monsters.

New Photo Feature In MH Rise

The new screenshot photo feature shows the name of the creature that you are photographed with. Photos may be viewed on your Nintendo Switch as usual.

Monster Hunter Stories 2

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin

The March 8 digital event also showed the trailer of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin. This game will be released on July 9, 2021 and features graphics that deviate from the usual Monster Hunter series' style.
