Capcom have been drip-feeding new snippets of gameplay from the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise via Twitter.
The game’s official Twitter account has been posting numerous short snippets of gameplay. These include how the Wirebug interacts with different weapon styles, powerful attacks from the Izuchi and Great Izuchi, multiplayer, and more.
We also see riding, fighting along side, and petting Palamutes. While Palicoes are about support, Palamutes seem more focused on damage. Much like Palicoes, Palamutes can be customized.
Finally, we see the new “Hunting Helpers.” This includes the new Escuregot; a giant snail that can be found and picked up. Players can later drop it to release a healing cloud.
You can find all the gameplay snippets via the tweets below.
