Monster Hunter Rise First Major Update Brings Back Missing Monsters
KEY POINTS
Event Quests and Layered Armor are also making a return
More updates of similar scale are scheduled for the future
The first big update for “Monster Hunter Rise” is now live, and it’s bringing back three classic enemies as well as two new Apex variants of existing monsters. The update is free to all players who own the game, and it’s expected to be the first of many similar content drops in the future.
The initial release of “Monster Hunter Rise” was met with very favorable reviews from the series’ fans and critics around the world, but the lack of a proper “Monster Hunter” end game was cited as its biggest weakness. The absence of Elder Dragons in the base game was also seen as an odd decision, considering how those enemies are a staple in every “Monster Hunter” game.
