It will not have escaped the first buyers of the game Monster Hunter Rise, released on Nintendo Switch last Friday, that an update was already available: weighing 600 MB, this upgrade stamped 1.1 .1 gives access to some bonus content, and fixes some bugs.
But it will soon be followed by an update 2.0: it is Capcom, the publisher of the title, who announced it on Twitter.
Monster Hunter Rise, a free update in April
Scheduled for late April, Update 2.0 will provide Monster Hunter Rise players with free additions, including new, never-before-seen monsters including Greater Rhatalos and Chameleos.
These are just two examples, as Capcom is implying that these creatures won't be the only ones entering the game's bestiary at that time.
Additional features will also be present within this upgrade, which will allow players to go even further in the adventure.
Monster Hunter, a successful franchise
Monster Hunter Rise is the second installment of the Capcom franchise to be available on Nintendo Switch: the console indeed hosted Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate in 2018, but it was a revised and corrected version of the game initially released. for Nintendo 3DS.
Monster Hunter Rise is new, which explains its immediate success on the hybrid console.
The Japanese publisher intends to capitalize on the potential of the franchise, by always offering more content to players, in the years to come.
