Delivering on the hopes of some Nintendo Switch owners, Capcom is developing a newMonster Huntergame exclusive for the platform.Monster Hunter Riseis being designed to make the most of the Nintendo Switch hardware, but as such there are a lot ofMonster Hunterfans with questions as what kind of gameMonster Hunter Risereally is. A recent interview has led to the public release new information that should answer some of these questions.
One big question answered by Capcom community manager Josh Dahdrai is what kind of performanceMonster Hunter Risewill attain. SinceMonster Hunter World’s release, players have raised their expectations for the franchise in terms of performance. While target resolution has yet to be revealed, Dahdrai did confirm that Capcom is targeting 30 frames per second for the game. At least in this regard,Monster Hunter Risewon’t be improving compared to otherMonster Huntergames on Nintendo hardware.

However, there is one improvement that’s being. According to Dahdrai, both players and monsters will be able to move betweenareas inMonster Hunter Risewithout any loading screens. It’s unclear how big areas will be inMonster Hunter Rise, so this may be less impressive than it sounds, but it’s got exciting prospects on paper.
Another big area of interest forMonster Hunterfans is howMonster Hunter Risewill be supported post-launch. One aspect ofMonster Hunter World’s success was how robustlyCapcomsupported it in the weeks and months after it came out. While Dahdrai wasn’t able to provide any firm details, they did mention thatMonster Hunter Risewould receive free content following launch.
Much of what Dahdrai had to say revolved around reassurance thatMonster Hunter Risewould be a traditionalMonster Huntergame. He described how it retains the “DNA” of the franchise, how it’s a “traditional but fresh” experience, isn’t a “derivative or spin-off” game, and how it’ll feature a broad variety ofmonsters and the exploration thatMonster Hunteris known for.
Obviously,Monster Hunter Riseisn’tMonster Hunter World. But it also isn’t going to beMonster Hunter Generations, or any of the other NintendoMonster Hunterexperiences from years past. Fans will be able to see more of what the game entails for themselves soon, asMonster Hunter Riseis one of the featured games planned to be shown duringCapcom’s upcoming Tokyo Game Showsegment on Saturday, September 26.
