“Getting the necessary performance out of the hardware required some adjustments, but we were able to achieve it eventually through continued development.” “We especially wanted to have the fun of traveling around on the Palamute available in multiplayer,” said Tsujimoto. But Rise’s emphasis on action results in tightened core mechanics that should be fun to play regardless of platform, and the game has been made even more welcoming to new players than the already accessible Monster Hunter World.įor example, in addition to the feline Palico buddies from previous games, Rise introduces Palamutes, canine creatures that assist the player in battle and that can even be ridden like a horse, making exploration much faster and more dynamic. It is not clear how such aspects will translate to a PC version. Monster Hunter Rise has been specifically designed with the Switch’s capabilities in mind – for example, Tsujimoto said in the interview that during development “we considered the characteristics of the Nintendo Switch, which can be used as a handheld, and with that in mind we focused on hunting at a higher tempo than before.” It’s encouraging to hear that Capcom is listening to series fans around the world when it considers platforms for new entries such as Rise. While Monster Hunter has long been a killer franchise in Japan, 2018’s Monster Hunter: World and its Iceborne expansion brought the series to global success, with World selling over 16.8 million units worldwide, and a further 7.2 million sales for Iceborne.
