Watch out, hunters! Monster Hunter Rise comes to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on January 20, 2023. It’s been a little over two years since the release of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s final update…and we’re back on the hunt.
Unleash your hunting spirit
Monster Hunter Rise imbues the familiar hunting experience of Monster Hunter World and Iceborne with new acrobatic maneuvers made possible by unique creatures known as wirebugs. Jump into the air, climb cliffs, and navigate open environments with ease and speed. Wirebugs enable a variety of unique special attacks for each of the 14 weapons in the game. Even if you’ve mastered certain weapons in the past, these new abilities bring new skills to incorporate into your toolkit.
Meet an all-new buddy type, Paramute Kanin. In addition to providing support alongside proven Palico companions, you can quickly travel through each locale on the back of a paramute. Paramute riding is a great way to use items safely and sharpen your weapons when needed. Pet your paramute too and show love for their hard work.
So what are we hunting?
Flagship Monster Magnamaro heads a mix of new and returning monsters inspired by Japanese folklore. Magnamaro, known as Wyvern of Malice, shoots a deadly purple gas composed of consumed monsters known as Hellfire, and attacks ferociously with its powerful claws and spear tips.
In addition to new monsters, returning favorites from previous Monster Hunter titles will also test your skills. Many of these monsters have new moves and abilities in past games, so even seasoned veterans who have defeated many Ratholos and Rathians over the years will find them familiar in Monster Hunter Rise. You can definitely find a fresh experience.
A new threat looms

Fifty years ago, Kamla was devastated by the same threat, but now it’s up to you to fight Rampage and protect the village.
