Monster Hunter Rise has already reached the top of the charts in Japan in the opening week – exchanging over 1.3 million physical copies and delivering four million units globally, and now Capcom has revealed its final stage.
All in all – over five million copies of the latest entry are now in kind (this includes physical and digital sales), with the cumulative sales of the series exceeding 66 million units as of December 31, 2020, since the start of the original game in 2004 .
If you haven’t already received this game, what are you waiting for – I gave it a new out of ten excellent stars and described it as another “cool classic” for Nintendo Switch:
“The new mechanics, the monsters and a wonderful setting make Monster Hunter Rise a new point for the franchise. Wirebug, Switch Skills, Palamute, and carefully thought-out monsters shake things up enough to make the game feel fresh for hunters who have previously spent thousands of hours with the series, and while the package could be slightly intimidating for newcomers, it is no doubt , the perfect place to start if you are serious about franchising. And with a four-player multiplayer experience, the new Rampage missions are a explosion. After spending some serious time with the game, it’s very easy to say that Monster Hunter Rise is one of the strongest franchise entries to date and another cool classic for the Nintendo Switch. “
There is a new update scheduled for the end of the month – this will bring the game up to version 2.0 and add more monsters.
