Monster Hunter Rise Is Getting Another Free Demo, Future Free Updates Detailed

I still have the demo from the first one.

Well, I will be downloading this eventually when it comes out soon

Free DLC? Don't tell EA...

Aw yeah, gotta bring back my favourite monster Chammy

On day one, hopefully

I just realized something.

The PC version of MH Rise will lag behind the switch version for a while. In terms of content.

Even MH World on PC isn't exactly the same as on ps4 and xbox one.

It didn't have events that the consoles had. And there will be Nintendo related events in Rise which PC obviously won't get

I am, in fact, getting hyped. Never played a Monster Hunter game before, nor really any game built around deliberate, opposite-of-button-mashing combat, so I expect to die a lot as I learn both technique and discipline, but I am looking forward to it.

It's quite similar to the urge to get out on the golf course more this year, now that I think about it. Apparently I'm a masochist.

Lets gooooo, been waiting for this.

@anoyonmus PC version will probably include all the DLC up to that point

This is the kind of DLC I personally like.. I love how just as everyone gets to grips with the monsters and gameplay, they will add more and keep people hooked longer.

It stops the game from going stale and is not a quick cash grab which they could probably have done.. Fair play

@Kirbo100 probably all the updates.

But the events. PC won't get those like with MH World.

Also MH Rise will get Nintendo related events which won't be on PC.

Capcom has always screwed PC players over when it comes to their games (except RE).

Examples: MH World, DMC 5, RE 4,

I probably won't play the new demo. I'll save my hunting time for the real thing here in a couple of weeks.

I can imagine that the Eshop is gonna be down again when the new demo arrives

Liking the look of this but will wait for a sale as I'm probably going to pick up Outriders up first, there's oy so much grinding you can do at once.
Will also give the amibo bin files a chance to be readily available for the outfits.

@Medic_Alert Just a question: Did you only play the older ones? Because i used to think almost exactly the same until World. Just saying that maybe it got fixed, you should try the demo, if you havent already of course

thought about getting one of the Pro controllers, and it's disgusting how they are all on eBay now. This scalping ***** is getting out of hand

thank goodness for a harder monster because l was disappointed that all we had were simple easy monsters to fight. Unless this one is also easy...hope not. I actually still have the 1st MHR demo still downloaded xD
GU had a great demo though

wait wait..chameleos! YES VERY HAPPY

Same post launch as what MHW got then what i'm very happy with, they seem to have the upped the "MTX" style DLC though but if its like how they done it with MHW then it shouldn't be a problem as each free update gave you tons of free stuff.

@anoyonmus PC version is on par with consoles now and has been for nearly a year. The only event content it lacks is the Horizon crossover stuff for PS4 what makes sense as at the time Horizon was PS4 exclusive, everything else though the PC version has.

why i deleted my demo of Monster Hunter Rise?😭😭😭i should have keep when i train to fight Magnamalo and defeat him, since one of my aunts is gonna give me Monster Hunter Rise in my birthday in early april.

@WallyWest now it is

But earlier it wasn't

I expect the same for MH Rise with PC version being a bit behind

did Capcom just teased on the new Monster Hunter Rise, the monster we gonna fight as the final boss of the game?

Will anyone recognize the fact that a brand new monster appeared roughly halfway through the trailer? It seemed to resemble that of a Xeno'ji from MHWorld! Don't look down on this, but I reckon that's the skull from the lava caverns!
Plz be an elder dragon!
Capcom plz.

@Giancarlothomaz lmao that's what I'm saying!

@Razzbery Rage Quit video made a very intereting teory that linked that skeleton found on Lava Caverns to this monster Capcom just teased, he seens to be a like a Elder Dragon snake Wyvern like Naralaja.

I think I'll skip the second demo and dive into the real game when I grab it. Looking like it'll be early to mid April before I pick it up though. SM3DAS will devour the rest of my gaming budget for this month.

Not a fan of all those returning World monsters, but I'm happy to see so many from gen 3.

@anoyonmus Well, that's how it should be. After all, kids nowadays do say: "You snooze, you lose."

@Giancarlothomaz I just did some research, it may actually be the ancestor to all snake wyverns, it DOES look very similar to what the fandom wiki says it looks like.

@JimmySpades once you find your weapon everything changes, it might take a bit of testing with each weapon but you'll find the one you like and then the game completely changes for you.

@Preposterous hmm

@Mr_Persona If you go on to the fandom wiki, it says it's called an "ancient serpent" (I didn't mean Amatsu) Lmao r u that person on reddit saying the teased monster looks like Amatsu? XD

@Mr_Persona Capcom decided now, 18 days before Rise's release, to announce a mysterious new monster that I'm predicting is the cause of the rampage

Hyped, but waiting patiently! I may download the new demo just to see how long I can survive against Magnamalo.

@Razzbery no l'm not that person. And many people are saying long ago that he should return. His face looks alike the monster l'm talking about. Who knows he can be related to it?
Anyone thinking of gore might return?

Just can't exactly tell, but this amatsu monster head and eyes looks like that monster and he also floats like that monster at the very end. Plus his roar sorta sounds like him but hardly, just the echoing part. But capcom do change roars a lot the past games with monsters

@Mr_Persona Lmao this completely unrelated but i sent you a fr..
XD

@Beatrice I would love all those monsters to return and l've been writting a list of monsters l want to return and those are one of them.

@Razzbery not being really nice to me rn...you shouldn't be judging people by their opinions

@Mr_Persona My apologies if it seems that way, I don't wish to seem like some jerk. Although I do completely agree with you - they SHOULD add Amatsu to rise due to it's japanese-y theme, I'm just saying I don't see how that looks like Amatsu.

@Razzbery I said amatsu because the head is the same shape from the front as amatsu, his roar had the unique echo, he was floating, his eye looked like amatsu, and his skin was white. But like I said I'm just guessing and it could be related to amatsu. Even if its not him, then I would just call this new monster a copycat. Even though his jaw messes up everything, but he still looks like that elder dragon.

@Mr_Persona Sounds great! If this monster isn't related to amatsu, My guess the nickname "copycat" will stick to it.

@anoyonmus I wouldn't be surprised if Switch was to get a "Master Rank" Expansion a-la World's Iceborne before the PC version as well.
At least if the game proves popular enough

@Mr_Persona Also can we talk about how our favorite kleptocats *****, the Melynxes, just got confirmed?

@Beatrice I figure that will be later reveals or "only when people get there" stuff like end/post-game stuff.

Or a Master Rank expansion a-la Iceborne.

@Ludovsky exactly

@Ludovsky Melynxes have always been a part of nearly every MH game, if not, they're in every game. So we've all expected them to be arriving in MHRise.

I love Chameleons and it's armor set. I hope they continue to trickle monsters into the game to try and match the amount Generations Ultimate had

It's looking good and I'm day 1 for sure. I mentioned in a previous post though I gotta keep control of over saturating myself with too much Rise stuff before release. My hype & excitement was dwindling down because I spent too much time with the YouTube algorithm of watching so many gaming publication videos. They discuss, debate, discuss some more, debate some more, reveal tiniest of details etc. so much that its taking away all that fun, new, learning, exploration and self discovery part of MH games for me. I'll probably give the new demo a few tries then uninstall. I want that feeling back that I had from the first trailer reveal.

@Beatrice what would be cooler if they do add jho into the game, they should also add that special event quest when he is the twice the size! The quest was from Tri and GU did added returning quests from older games, so why not.

Love 3 and 4, but World and Generations weren't for me. I will probably just wait for the G-rank variant.

Kinda wished the demo updated so we could hunt on another map, like...why couldn't it be the Flooded Forest or something? TwT

@Razzbery They are but were glaringly missing from World IMO, even with the "New World" setting. So it's why I'm glad to see them back because they were ultimately indeed "gone" for a whole game's length.

@Beatrice I suspect Jho's a given since we're not supposed to be in the New World anymore. Not sure who all will be part of free updates but then again Chameleos right off the bat after release(1 month only is pretty damn close) sounds promising without being a "end of the endest"-grade monster afaik even as an elder dragon(as Chameleos always gave me vibe of a "you have unlocked elder dragons" but it's definitely not a Raging Deviljho or Furious Rajang) so that leaves a lot of space for scaling future additions... perhaps even include some non-engame ones(especially since the'yre promising "other monsters" for that update).

@Ganner I've been avoiding watching too many videos about Rise for precisely that reason. I may even skip this second demo and just wait for the game to release. This is the game I've been waiting for and was always sure was coming ever since the Switch itself was first announced over four years ago.

These new weapon skills sound kind of like the styles and arts from Generations. If so that would be cool. The amount of customization and different ways to hunt in that game is just mind boggling.

So far I like how the wirebugs add a lot of speed and mobility in Rise.

@teko You know what you may be on to something. Perhaps I should consider skipping this 2nd demo and give me time to rebuild more of that hype I'm missing. I talked about it more in detail in a previous Rise article and yeah it was a bummer to realize what I was doing. I didn't mean to but nowadays its way too easy to over saturate in content that it can have a reverse effect. In the MH4U days I was so over the moon pumped just from about 2 trailers and about a hour of the demo. That was it all the way to release. I skipped 3DS Gen and didn't play World for lack of proper hardware. I practically purchased a Switch for MHGU just from the first official trailer and no demo play that time and was crazy excited. This time around I got too carried away and found myself actually trying to maintain the initial hype I had. I'm seriously considering skipping the demo and waiting till the real game to experience fighting the flagship monster.

I just want to play the game, so skipping the update in the demo. I don't like hunting the Flagship until the game is out as it feels less special when you di finally get to.

@Giancarlothomaz save the flagship for the actual game. It makes it feel way better when you haven't pre grinded the damn thing before you meet it in the main story.

@Mr_Persona Tbh High Rank stuff is always kind of kept as a surprise and it's the low-ranks + flagship(which traditionally is the monster often related to unlockinh High Rank/etc or which has a relationship with High Rank storybeats but usually isn't the actual final boss) that always tend to make most of the early advertising for Monster Hunter games.

Which is logical because they'll be among the first monsters to be faced by players.

@Medic_Alert Did you at least try world yet? Or just the older ones?

@Medic_Alert I had an issue with certain weapons. I would try the bow or dual blades if you're trying to ease into it.

I started with the bow and went to the insect glaive because it changes the whole game being able to pole vault everywhere. It's like a flying simulator lol

@Meikahidenori right, i gonna do this.

@Razzbery intereting, can't wait to play Monster Hunter Rise in my birthday in early april and face this monster.
