The demo is available with a limited playthrough. You can test out two quests which are beginner-quest Great Izuchi and Intermediate-quest Mizutsune which can only be played 30 times. There are also a Basic Training Quest and a Wyvern Riding Training Quest, however, once you’ve reached this limit, both quests will no longer be available. Eager players have access to the demo until February 1st at 3 PM ET.
The release date of Monster Hunter Rise has been set for a worldwide launch on March 26th this year. Capcom also released a Monster Hunter Rise-themed amiibo that will unlock a special layered armor set for their owners when scanned. Additionally, Monster Hunter Rise will also bring old mechanics and monsters from the previous titles, which has fans excited. Of course, new monsters like the Wire Bug and the Wyvern Riding also keep fans on their toes.
Both Developers and players alike are excited for the release of this game with an all-new story set in a new location with a lot of new and returning monsters to hunt. In addition, Capcom will also release a new game alongside Monster Hunter Rise, called Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. With the limited-time free demo available, players are bound to wish that the game had a free-to-play version.
Monster Hunter Rise will be released on March 26, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch.
