Monster Hunter: Rise.

Monster Hunter: Rise comes to Switch on March 26

Capcom has revealed two new Monster Hunter games for the Switch during today’s Nintendo Partner Showcase. The first, Monster Hunter: Rise, comes out March 26.

Monster Hunter games have players, well, hunting monsters. They are action role-playing games with a focus on multiplayer. Monster Hunter has long been a big hit in Japan, but the franchise found success in the U.S. in 2018 with Monster Hunter: World. That title, however, never came to Switch.
