With Monster Hunter Rise launching on Switch today, we imagine fans of the series are already busy tucking into the series' latest offering as we speak, but let us keep hold of your attention for just a little bit longer as more good news has arrived.
Rise Director Yasunori Ichinose and Monster Hunter Stories 2 producer Ryozo Tsujimoto have shared a special message with fans on social media today, wishing fans a 'Happy Hunting!' and reminding us about upcoming updates.
The pair also mention, however, that should you decide to pick up both titles, a "special bonus" will be waiting for you.
They stop short of explaining just what this special bonus is, but it's nice to know that you'll be getting a nice little treat if you're planning on buying both games. Monster Hunter Stories 2 launches on 9th July, so there isn't long left to wait.
It's not a bad year for Switch-owning Monster Hunter fans, is it? Remember to let us know whether or not you're grabbing Monster Hunter Rise in our launch day poll if you haven't already!

Is it the ability to purchase the amiibo without dumb hassle? If so then count me in.
@Yosher Seriously. Gamestop delaying the amiibo honestly makes my blood boil. Preordered them months ago to make sure I had them on release day. I hate Gamestop. They probably said "Give us something exclusive or we won't sell your game."
Just got Rise, and i was already interested in Stories 2. So this is a nice little sweetener.
I hope it's nothing too big cause I have no interest in Rise but Stories 2 looks interesting
@ImmortanJho I really wonder why it so difficult for these things to be properly available.... I hope you get your amiibo in still.
@Yosher Thank you. It makes me feel better to have someone commiserate. Were you impacted at all? If so I hope you get yours timely as well.
No suspense please. Still need to finish the stories from the 3DS version.
I already decided to get it on PC instead, regular MH games play great on the go (long weekend in front of me because my copy is here) but with this I prefer a big screen and nice graphics instead.
No "exclusive" stuff for me then.
The bonus is you have so much time playing these games 😂
@ImmortanJho In my case I can't get the palamute and palico because they're My Nintendo Store exclusive over here and you need a credit card to buy them which I refuse to get. So I'm stuck using sites like eBay to get those two.
Getting monster hunter rise as soon as I get out of work.
@Yosher What a mess.
@Rayquaza2510 looked nice on my 55in 4k TV this morning
Nice, I'll own both. Stories was a masterpiece so I'll get Sories 2 from day 1. I do intend to buy Rise on a sale though.
@Yosher I hate to be a bandwagon jumper but yeah GameStop is pure hot garbage. Why Nintendo insists on giving them exclusive *anything * when they have such a bad rep and are one step from bankruptcy is beyond.
I thought they already revealed it, unless there's some more stuff for connecting the two together. I thought it was the Rise themed layered armor set.
@Ks123 Who knows, maybe they both get a good deal out of it that only makes sense from a business standpoint. But as a consumer it really flippin' blows and store exclusivity needs to stop, regardless of whether it's Gamestop or any other store that sells video games.
Noice, I'll be picking up Rise after work so me and my son can go hunting later, so excited and the game looks phenomenal
Just picked up Rise today, and I already planned on Stories 2, (i love the first one on 3ds), extra bonuses are always okay in my book!
@HXLXIII nice.
I also just bought MH Rise today and I personally can’t wait for Stories 2.
But I am wondering about when the pre orders are gonna go live.
Rise is a masterpiece, stories is one of my favorite 3ds games, so no doubt I will go for stories 2
@Darkyoshi98 ? What I said was about Stories 2, not Rise considering Rise is a regular MH game and I prefer that on the Switch (or handheld) anyhow, ALSO in docked.
Stories 2 on the other hand is a different experience, I prefer that on a PC instead.
New physical games flying off the shelf and old rpgs starting to become collectible. Hard to find copies of Crash 4 and KOA and MHR at launch, and now u gotta pay over 70 for new copies of diablo and xenoblade 2 and ys 8 and the like on e bay if not more. Sometimes over a hundie. Certainly makes me proud and glad to be a collector of quality physical games on the nintendo switch. Note: seems like it's mostly the high profile jrpgs that cost more. If you want action ports, you will have no trouble finding copies of darksiders 1 and 2, AC rebel collection for under 30. Also, the outer world's is cheap too. Just be aware, both of the last games I mentioned are not entirely free of additional downloads. There is a 6 gig update for TOW. But AC has the first game entirely on the cart, u just need to download the second. Not so bad if you just want the first game. Not nearly as bad as the bioshock fandangle. No full game included in cart. Huge downloads for all games. The only game I don't mind doing that for is borderlands. I even sold my copy of wolfenstein 2. But I kept doom. But I'll never buy DE. Screw that noise. Physical all the way. BEST VALUE rn? KoA. Also, heads up for shop games that have super low file sizes. Can't wait for kaze yobedis!!!! Need to get my paycheck first, but think ita out already. For those that don't know, it's supposedly the spiritual successor to dkc.
Jokes on u im gonna buy both anyway !
