Monster Hunter Rise PC Release Date: January 12, 2022
Fans of the Monster Hunter franchise have been awaiting the arrival of Monster Hunter Rise on the PC since it was released for the Nintendo Switch in March this year. The PC version will support 4K native resolution, hi-res textures, uncapped framerates, optimized keyboard and mouse controls, and built-in voice chat. Additionally, it will also offer ultrawide display support. Sadly, it will not feature cross-platform cross-play support, so you'll only get to play with other players on Steam. It will also not allow you to carry over your progress from the Switch version to the PC version.
A demo for Monster Hunter Rise on PC is currently available on Steam, which will feature online multiplayer co-op functions as well as allow players to try all fourteen different weapons. Players will also be able to face off against Izuchi, Mizutsune, and Magnamalo. A pre-purchase bonus includes Palamute Retriever Costume layered armor, Palico Forest Cat Costume layered armor, and the Novice Talisman.
