Monster Hunter Rise coming to PC in January 2022

Capcom announced today that Monster Hunter Rise is coming to PC via Steam on January 12, 2022.

A trailer for the PC game dropped on the opening day of the Tokyo Game Show event. The Steam version of the game includes several features that the original version — which launched for Switch on March 26, 2021 — doesn’t have. These include support for 4K resolution and ultrawide displays, new high-resolution textures, and a high framerate.

The PC trailer also touts at least one feature that Switch players without an Online subscription will appreciate: voice chat. This will undoubtedly make hunts easier, if you’re able to actually speak with your partners. A demo for the PC version of Rise will be available on October 13, and it will feature both offline single player content as well as online multiplayer parts so that potential players can try both modes.

The trailer for the PC release also revealed a few pre-order bonuses players can obtain, including a Golden Retriever skin for Palamutes and a forest cat costume for Palicoes. The Deluxe Edition also includes several other cosmetics.
