Monster Hunter Rise Demo and Digital Event – January 2021 Recap

Greetings, Hunters! And Happy 2021!

We’re starting the New Year strong with a bevy of Monster Hunter Rise news, including new
monster and feature reveals and the release of a downloadable Demo!

The news was brought to you by the Monster Hunter dev team in Japan via our Monster Hunter Digital Event – January 2021. If you’ve already
watched the live stream or VOD, you’re good to go. Otherwise, here’s a quick
recap:

Demo – your chance to try out the inventive new gameplay in Monster Hunter Rise is here! Take on two Training Quests and two Hunting Quests to try out all the new gameplay mechanics (Wirebug, Wyvern Riding, Palamutes, etc.) we have in store! More info on the demo here.

Frost Islands
once a nest of huge dragons a long time ago. It is said many heroes went there
to try and slay them, to no avail. Similar to the Shrine Ruins and Flooded
Forest, you can expect to encounter a wide variety of monsters and endemic life.

Goss Harag – a Fanged
Beast capable of creating blades of ice to attack its prey. Its chilling
presence should not be taken lightly…

Returning Monsters
– along with the new icy region and Goss Harag, we’ve also revealed the return
of some fearsome fan-favorite foes: Khezu, Great Baggi, Lagombi, Barioth,
Tigrex, and Mizutsune!

Magnamalo – the
flagship monster of Monster Hunter Rise
shows off some of its tricks, including tail attacks that seem to spew a gas
that looks like hellfire!

Wyvern Riding – this
brand-new hunting technique uses the Ironsilk from Wirebugs to bind monsters allowing
you to control them. Now you can take their immense power and use it to hunt other
monsters! Check out a more in-depth overview of this feature in our tutorial
video below.

NPC Introductions
– meet more of the cast of colorful characters that inhabit Kamura Village and
will help you in your journey to fight back against the impending Rampage.

And if you’re in the mood to watch (or re-watch) some Monster Hunter Rise videos, here they
