Monster Hunter Rise PC release date, requirements, trailer & deals

The Monster Hunter Rise PC release date is very nearly upon us, with the much-loved game soon to launch on Steam for computer-based gamers.

Monster Hunter Rise is a game that only Nintendo Switch players could get hold of at first. The series with a self-explanatory title has several games under its belt now, including the recent Monster Hunter 2: Wings of Ruin, but PC gamers are about to get another one of them.

Monster Hunter Rise was released on the Switch early on in 2021, but that is where it has stayed although we have known that a port for the PC was on the way for some time now.

But when is it coming? Here is all we know about Monster Hunter Rise on PC.

What is Monster Hunter Rise PC about?

Well, hunting monsters is very much part of the fun here and Monster Hunter Rise takes what the original game had and builds on it in great ways.

The first game had many elements that were not as fun as they should have been, but Rise gets rid of those and instead makes sure that we have a fun game to play that is not bogged down with tedious mechanics. With new special moves and weapons in abundance, this is the game where Monster Hunter truly became a title worth spending time on.

As for the story, you will be playing as a hunter tasked with protecting your village from a new threat – and there will be plenty of monsters to run into along the way.
