Following some new snippets of gameplay yesterday for Monster Hunter Rise, at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Capcom has debuted even more gameplay today.

The new block of gameplay includes over 40 minutes of Monster Hunter Rise, mostly focusing on its new wirebug ability and the new palamute dog companion. It’s worth pointing out that Capcom did confirm today that yes – you can pet the palamute dog in-game.

Here’s the recording of the livestream and gameplay: (first block is 1:34:40 to 1:56:10 and second block is 2:28:25 to 2:49:10)

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Rise to the challenge and join the hunt!

The critically acclaimed action-RPG series returns to the Nintendo Switch!

Set in the ninja-inspired land of Kamura Village, explore lush ecosystems and battle fearsome monsters to become the ultimate hunter. It’s been half a century since the last calamity struck, but a terrifying new monster has reared its head and threatens to plunge the land into chaos once again.

Hunt solo or in a party with friends to earn rewards that you can use to craft a huge variety of weapons and armor. Brand new gameplay systems such as the high-flying ‘Wire Action’ and your canine companion ‘Palamute’ will add exciting new layers to the already robust combat that Monster Hunter is known for.

Whether it’s at home, on the go, online or offline – you’ll always be ready for your next hunt on the Nintendo Switch!

Monster Hunter Rise is launching worldwide for Nintendo Switch, on March 26th, 2021.
