Just Released, Monster Hunter Rise Has Sold Over 4 Million Copies Worldwide

Fans’ waiting for the presence of the latest Monster Hunter Rise series has finally paid off after the game was officially released on Friday last week. The great response it has received in many countries, especially Japan, illustrates that this game will sell well, and sure enough, the latest report from Capcom confirms that Monster Hunter Rise has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide.

This figure is taken from sales of the physical and digital versions of the game for several days since its release. Since there are still a lot of players who don’t have stock and still have to support the next batch, it can be predicted that the sales numbers will continue to increase dramatically over the next few weeks.

This achievement is also quite fantastic, especially for a game that has just been released for the Nintendo Switch platform only. There are also several AAA games from Capcom, such as Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5, for example, which took years to reach 4 million copies.

Regarding the game itself, Monster Hunter Rise is the latest game series in the franchise that carries a Japanese theme. Apart from the presence of cool new monsters, this game introduces a new, more responsive gameplay system with Wire Bug. This gadget allows the player to execute a series of new weapon combo techniques as well as use it as a flexible Grappling Hook tool.

In this game the players will be taken on a mission to investigate the mystery of the Rampage that threatens the peace of Kamura village. Later players are also given the opportunity to engage in large-scale battles similar to tower-defense, where they must use all available access to weapons to trap and defeat monsters before they can penetrate the defense. Incidentally, the game will also release the latest update towards the end of April. This update will bring Apex Rathalos to hunt as well as various other overhauls.
