Monster Hunter Rise has already topped the charts in Japan in its opening week – selling more than 1.3 million physical copies and selling four million units globally, and now Capcom has unveiled its latest milestone.
In all – more than five million copies of the latest release are now on sale (including physical and digital sales), with cumulative sales for the series exceeding 66 million units on December 31, 2020, since the original game’s debut in 2004.
If you don’t have this game yet, what are you waiting for – we gave it an excellent nine out of ten stars and described it as yet another “cold stone classic” for the Nintendo Switch:
“New mechanics, monsters and a wonderful setting make Monster Hunter Rise a new high point for the franchise. Wirebug, Switch Skills, Palamute and carefully planned monsters shake things up enough to make the game look new to hunters who have previously spent thousands of hours with the series, and while the package can be a little intimidating for newbies, it is undoubtedly the ideal place to start if you really want to join the franchise, and with an unmatched four-player multiplayer experience, the new missions from Rampage are one explosion. After spending some serious time with the game, it’s very easy to say that Monster Hunter Rise is one of the strongest entries in the franchise to date, and another cold classic for the Nintendo Switch. “
There is a new update scheduled for the end of the month as well – this will elevate the game to version 2.0 and add more monsters.
