Capcom teases Monster Hunter: Rise for Nintendo Switch
As Monster Hunter World: Iceborne finally wrapping up it’s development and update cycle with the release of Fatalis, many have been wondering what’s next for the Monster Hunter Series — Capcom answered that today with a short announcement from the recent Nintendo Direct Mini: A new Monster Hunter game for the Nintendo Switch.
The trailer gives us a great overview of what’s in store, and what excites me is the new system that allows you to move across environments using the wire bug — something akin to the clutch claw in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne but usable anywhere.
There also seems a bit more focus on solo play as we get a new companion to fight along side your hunter and felyne companion — the Palamute.
