Monster Hunter Rise

Capcom have released gameplay trailers for Monster Hunter Rise, showcasing the Great Sword, Switch Axe, Hunting Horn, and Charge Blade weapon types.

As previously reported, the new trailers not only show how the weapons battle against tooth and claw, each weapon also has a Silkbind Attack that grant bonuses depending on the silk used- such as buffs or special attacks.


Capcom had previously released a trailer for the Great SwordBow, Dual Blades, Long Sword, LanceLight Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer, Sword & Shield, Insect Glaive, and Gunlance weapon types.

The Hunting Horn had also leaked (seen in the Insect Glaive and Gunlance article above), but how now been officially released with English text and in higher quality.

You can find the new Great Sword weapon type trailer; along with the Switch Axe, Hunting Horn, and Charge Blade trailers (and their rundowns via their video descriptions) below.

“Overwhelming, devastating power. The Great Sword delivers meaty chops with incredible force. Charge its attacks for even more damage!

‘Power Sheathe’ is a silkbind attack comprised of a quick Wirebug-assisted dash and a sheathing motion that boosts your attack for a short time.”

“Mighty, transformative force. The Switch Axe boasts advanced technology to deliver multiple options:
Axe form – fluid motion and hefty hits.
Sword form – quick powered-up strikes.
Phial effects activated by the sword now also persist in axe form.

‘Invincible Gambit’ is a silkbind attack that fortifies the hunter, making them immune to flinching or being knocked back by even the fiercest of attacks.”

“Rhythmic, heart-pounding hits. The Hunting Horn smashes through the charts with powerful moves that stun monsters and buff your hunting party!

‘Earthshaker’ is a head-pounding beat silkbind attack that drives an Ironsilk-bound blade into the target like a stake. Sonic vibrations explode inside the target causing big damage!”

“Dynamic, crushing potential. The Charge Blade weaves together an empowered sword and stout shield to make up a mighty axe. Charge it up in sword mode, then unleash devastating attacks in axe mode.

‘Counter Peak Performance’ is a silkbind attack that readies your shield for incoming attacks; getting hit fills your phials to maximum, priming you for the ultimate counter attack.”

Monster Hunter Rise launches worldwide for Nintendo Switch, on March 26th, 2021. During the Capcom ransomware leaks however, alleged Capcom files claimed the game would head to Windows PC in October 2021.

Those leaks claimed the game would have a demo or demos launched between January and March 2021. A demo was officially announced to launch in January.
