Monster Hunter Rise is set within Kamura Village, a feudal-Japan inspired town centred within the weapon-focused gameplay loop the series is famous for worldwide. Players take on the role of a novice hunter, taking their pick of 14 unique weapons with which they will try and hunt a wide variety of monsters across different locales, including ancient ruins, blistering deserts, and glacial islands.
