Capcom producer Ryozo Tsujimoto in a new interview with Fanbyte revealed Monster Hunter Rise will be getting a release on PC in early 2022. It will launch first for the Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2021.
"[PC version is] still very much in development," said Tsujimoto.
Here is an overview of the game:
Monster Hunter Rise is an action RPG that will transport players to the colorful Kamura Village, an all-new serene mountain locale that attracts visitors with its unique culture and innovative hunting technologies. After hunters equip their armor and select from one of the various weapon types, all-new hunting grounds await, including the ancient Shrine Ruins and more. As players defeat monsters and progress through the game, items from fallen foes can be used to craft unique weapons and armor that will increase their chances of future success and survival. Hunters can tackle these challenges solo, or with up to three other players in local or cooperative online play.
Evolving the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Rise will provide players with an inventive set of new tools to track down and defeat threatening monsters. For the first time ever in a Monster Hunter game, wire-based grappling actions can be performed by using a “Wirebug” while standing or in mid-air, adding an all-new level of aerial maneuverability to hunting strategies and attacks. The game will also debut new hunting partners called Palamutes, personalized and rideable “Canyne” companions that will provide players with a new set of attack options, while “Felyne” Palicoes will return as support characters for actions like healing.
Key Features:
- Rise to New Heights – The debut of the new “Wirebug” mechanic allows for wire-based grappling actions that can be used to scale cliffs and other hard-to-reach areas, providing new traversal and aerial attack options.
- New and Returning Monsters – The game will introduce Magnamalo, a menacing new flagship monster, as well as other new monsters like the shape-shifting Aknosom, the amphibious Tetranadon, and more. Hunters can also expect to encounter numerous fan-favorite and returning species from previous Monster Hunter games.
- Canyne Companions – New hunting partners called Palamutes can be personalized and used to ride across the terrain, providing players with all-new traveling and attack options. On solo hunts, players can select both a Palamute and Palico to assist them, while multiplayer hunters can bring one or the other into the field.
- The Rampage – In addition to the plethora of solo and multiplayer quests, the immersive story mode will task aspiring hunters with discovering the secrets behind the puzzling “Rampage” events that threaten Kamura Village.
- Hunting Options – Play solo, or join up to three other hunters in local or online co-op play. The Nintendo Switch system also allows for hunting anywhere, anytime and with anyone!
- Seamless Gameplay – Featuring maps with no loading times, the continuous gameplay ensures that players will remain on their quests as soon as the hunt begins, without transitions between areas.
Monster Hunter Rise will launch for the Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2021.

So the 6 millions were for 9 months, not bad.
If Capcom wants to increase sales even further they should do a PS5/PS4/Xbone/X Series release too, but that’s fine.
It was for 6 months actually, it will probably release on PC in 9-12 months
If they do it will 100% outsell MH World
Good news for people that want it on PC, I cannot wait though. Day 1 on Switch for me!
Sweet. I can wait.
I thought we already knew this. Or was it news from their servers getting hacked?
I'm still getting it for switch. The only advantage to the pc version is having mouse look for me. I do like that for 3rd person combat gameplay, but it's not a necessity. The convenience far outweighs waiting for the pc version.
YES! I did not want to buy this for my Switch!
I haven't played monster hunter before. Is it as epic as chasing the colossi in shadow of colossus?
Cool, but I ain't paying £50-60 for it a year later though.
I will!
