Monster Hunter Rise demo coming later today on Switch

Get hype.

Monster Hunter Rise demo will be available later tonight, a new press release from Capcom has confirmed.

Update: The demo is available early, right here.

Available from 6.00 pm AEDT, the demo will be offered “throughout the month of January,” ending on 31 January, Capcom said.

The demo includes the following:

  • Training – Learn the basics of monster hunting, including an introduction to the new Wirebug mechanic and Palamute riding. Solo play only.
  • Wyvern Riding – Enter an arena to experience Wyvern Riding, a new feature that allows hunters to ride and guide monsters for a period of time. Solo play only.
  • Beginner Quest: Great Izuchi – Ideal for first time players or hunters who need a refresher course. Solo play, local multiplayer and online multiplayer.
  • Intermediate Quest: Mizutsune – A fierce challenge for experienced players only. Solo play, local multiplayer and online multiplayer.

The demo can be played in solo mode offline, or online using local or online multiplayer for up to 4 players. A Nitnendo Switch Online membership is required for online multiplayer play. The good news here though is that Nintendo is offering a free trial of the service until 13 January.

Players are able to engage in up to 30 quest attempts as part of the demo.
