Capcom has released a new set of trailers for Monster Hunter Rise introducing the Great Sword and Switch Axe weapons.
Here is an overview of each weapon, via Capcom:
Great Sword
Overwhelming, devastating power. The Great Sword delivers meaty chops with incredible force. Charge its attacks for even more damage!
“Power Sheathe” is a silkbind attack comprised of a quick Wirebug-assisted dash and a sheathing motion that boosts your attack for a short time.
Switch Axe
Mighty, transformative force. The Switch Axe boasts advanced technology to deliver multiple options:
- Axe Form – Fluid motion and hefty hits.
- Sword Form – Quick powered-up strikes.
Phial effects activated by the sword now also persist in axe form.
“Invincible Gambit” is a silkbind attack that fortifies the hunter, making them immune to flinching or being knocked back by even the fiercest of attacks.
Previous weapon trailers introduced the Gunlance, Insect Glaive, Hammer, Sword & Shield, Heavy Bowgun, Light Bowgun, Lance, Long Sword, Bow, and Dual Blades.
Monster Hunter Rise is due out for Switch on March 26, 2021 worldwide. A limited-time demo is due out on January.
