The Story of Kamura Village

After 50 years, the calamity returns!

This village, known for its Tatara Steel, is where hunters make their living.
The Rampage, a calamity that ravaged the village 50 years ago, is about to occur again,
so the inhabitants are in turmoil.
The hero has to become the best hunter there is and overcome this calamity with the help of all the villagers.

Monster Hunter Rise will be hitting Nintendo Switch on 26 March 2021. We’ll report back as we hear more!
