Following its somewhat truncated appearance at last night’s Game Awards show, Capcom has dropped the full version of its wonderful new – and surprisingly revealing – gameplay trailer for Monster Hunter Rise, which launches on Switch in March next year.
This time around, we’re introduced to Rise’s marshy new Flooded Forest locale – clearly heavily inspired be the Monster Hunter 3 area of the same name, although obviously shorn of its loading screens in Rise – which plays host to monsters both new and old.
In the ‘new’ category are the sleep-inducing Somnacanth and the Bishaten, described as the “omnivorous trickster”, while returning monsters include the Royal Ludroth and Great Wroggi.
Additionally, it appears my Monster-Hunter-related wishes have finally comes true! Skip to the 2:10 mark in the trailer and listen out for that familiar roar – seems like the inimitable khezu is finally returning in Rise after its devastating (to me at least) absence in Monster Hunter World.
