During a recent digital event, Capcom unveiled new details about Monster Hunter Rise, which will be landing on Nintendo Switch in just a few short weeks. In addition to unveiling more information about the Rampage events, which will have players collaborating with the inhabitants of Kamura village to take down waves of stampeding monsters, the event also shared new information about exciting new gameplay details.

Hunters will now have the option to select between the initial Skillbind Attacks and a set of Switch Skills for all 14 weapons in the game. Changing between these options will allow for new layers of strategy when progressing through the game, allowing for a new level of customization to match each player’s unique approach to the game.

You can check out the latest trailer below for a look at the latest reveals.

Players hoping to dive into Monster Hunter Rise right away can head to the Nintendo Switch eShop and download a free limited-time demo that features a gargantuan fight against the new flagship monster, Magnamalo, in addition to the four quests featured in the first demo from earlier this year.

Capcom released quite a bit of new images as well. Take a peek at some below, with the full collection available via the gallery on our Monster Hunter Rise game hub.
