Monster Hunter Rise is an action-RPG that sends hunters after massive, dangerous creatures using a wide arsenal of weapons, aided by new mobility tools like the Wirebug for fast, acrobatic traversal and combat. Crafting gear from defeated monsters drives progression.

Players track monsters through varied environments, exploit their weaknesses in real-time combat, and craft stronger equipment from the spoils. Its fast, mobile combat and lively village setting mark a fresh evolution for the series.
