Monster Hunter: Rise - the latest entry in Capcom's popular action series - appears to have had the controversial Enigma DRM added in to the PC version with a recent patch. This comes after another of Capcom's games, Resident Evil: Revelations, also got the same DRM added to it earlier this month.
]]>It's not confirmed what it is yet, but Capcom still apparently has an "unannounced major title" due out before March 2024.
]]>Welcome to the Best Games Ever show Episode 64: The best game you love despite itself.
]]>When you’re dealing with a hybrid console, the best Switch games have to be just as brilliant on the bus home from work as they are on a 65 inch OLED.
]]>Capcom has announced sales figures for Monster Hunter Rise and its large expansion, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Capcom will host the final Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak digital event next week.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is coming to PlayStation and Xbox, and it will arrive on both systems on April 28.
]]>Capcom will host a Capcom Spotlight livestream on March 9.
]]>It’s totally possible to play Monster Hunter Rise solo. You can make it through all the main storyline without jumping into an online lobby at all. Kill this, capture that, go out and carve the other. It’s a simple enough through line, even for a complete beginner (you just might get the wind knocked out of you by a couple of horns and claws en route).
]]>Microsoft has announced a few titles coming soon to Xbox Game Pass.
]]>What makes the Monster Hunter series so enjoyable? Is it the hypnotic rhythm with which it coaxes you into hunting, harvesting, upgrading, and repeating? Is it the intense, climactic battles that make you feel like a shounen anime protagonist just about felling your quarry with a slither of your health left? Is it the ludicrous concept of taking on one of nature’s greatest miracles whilst mounted on a dog, as a small cat leaps into battle beside you?
]]>Monster Hunter Rise launched on the Nintendo Switch and PC back in 2021. Now, the action RPG is set to be rocking up on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and even Xbox Game Pass on 20 January 2023.
]]>During today’s Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Digital Event, Capcom announced that Free Title Update 3 will release on November 24.
]]>Title Update 2 for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak arrives at the end of the month, and Capcom showed off a bit of it at TGS 2022.
]]>Capcom has announced when to expect the next Title Update for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Capcom has announced another sales milestone for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Capcom plans to host a Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak digital stream next week full of news on Title Update 1.
]]>A look at the dangerous Lucent Nargacuga can be had in the latest video for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Over the weekend, it looked like the name of the next game in the Monster Hunter series had leaked from a fairly unusual source: Discord. The title is apparently called Monster Hunter Paradise, according to the leak - but it turned out not to be the case.
]]>You need to look your best while hunting monsters – well, not really, but Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Layered Armor is there to make sure you can anyway. Sunbreak adds a whole new set of Layered Armor, with Master Rank spins on classic sets and some brand-new designs for Elgado’s new behemoths. Getting the new Sunbreak Layered Armor takes a lot of time and quest grinding, though.
]]>Frocium in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is one of the ores you’ll see pop up frequently in crafting recipes. If you’re after high-level variants of familiar sets such as Ingot and Baggi armor, you’ll need a fair few Frocium to get it. While the item is rare, you do at least have quite a few chances to harvest it.
]]>Supple Piel in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak might sound gross – because it is – but it’s a necessary component in some worthwhile Master Rank armor sets. The trouble is that it’s also a royal pain to get. You need nearly half a dozen to craft some full sets, so settle in for some grinding.
]]>Centuria Ore in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is essential once you hit Master Rank, and not just for making strong armor. You do need it to make sets from Sunbreak’s new monsters, but beyond the defensive boosts these pieces offer, they just look fantastic. It’ll take a fair bit of farming and some time before you have enough to get what you want, though.
]]>Finding Purecrystal in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is a bit of a chore since it’s yet another random material gained through mining. But it’s a chore worth doing. Purecrystal shows up in multiple crafting recipes, including ones for powerful armor you need to tackle Master Rank’s tougher challenges.
]]>It's been a good week for Monster Hunter. After the staggering success of Monster Hunter Rise on both PC and Switch, the ground was likely primed for the game's expansion, Sunbreak, to do good numbers. But, even for a series that enjoys as much popularity as Monster Hunter, the attach rate of the DLC is super high.
]]>The Monksnail in Monster Hunter Rise is one of the most elusive creatures in the game. There's only one Monksnail, and it can take a long time for it to finally appear. If that weren't inconvenient enough, it just decides not to show up sometimes. If you're after a snazzy piece of layered armor, though, it's worth tracking the beastie down.
]]>Prized Pelt in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is one of the more frustrating materials to gather, and if you’ve spent any time trying to find High Quality Pelt, you’ll have a pretty good idea of why. Prized Pelt only comes from two lesser monsters, and while they’re fairly easy to find if you know where to look, they don’t give their nice pelts up easily.
]]>The Shogun Ceanataur in Monster Hunter Rise is one tough crab, literally and metaphorically. It’s a deadly beast and one of just a few monsters that inflicts the bothersome new bleed status ailment, but if you manage to take it down, you’re in for some good rewards. The Ceanataur armor set is a significant step up from Sunbreak’s early Master Rank armor sets, and Ceanataur parts are used in other Master Rank sets as well.
]]>Capcom expects you to learn the Daimyo Hermitaur weakness in Monster Hunter Rise pretty fast, since defeating it is the only way to access Elgado and start the Sunbreak expansion proper. Daimyo Hermitaur is one of the more annoying monsters, given how it defends its weak areas, but its patterns are also fairly straightforward to learn. Farm it enough times, and you get the materials to make a pretty decent early Master Rank armor set.
]]>Mining Awegite in Monster Hunter Rise is an essential activity once you reach Elgado. Hitting Master Rank is great, except now everything can kill you with just a sideways look. Most Master Rank gear sets are out of your reach this early in the expansion, but Awegite Stone’s primary use is crafting the perfect set of gear to get you going.
]]>Allfire Stone in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is one of several materials that unlock once you reach Master Rank. Actually attaining the rank is only the start of the battle. You need to start crafting higher-rank equipment as soon as possible to survive the upcoming challenges, and that means finding materials such as Allfire Stone.
]]>The weekend has rolled around again, which means it's time to do something other than work.
]]>Capcom has released two short videos for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, each one giving you a look at a specific weapon.
]]>It's no secret I'm really into Monster Hunter: Rise: as well as pumping over 100 hours into the game on Switch, I started playing the most recent addition to the action-RPG series even more intently when it came to PC earlier this year.
]]>During today’s Monster Hunter digital event, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, and director Yoshitake Suzuki provided an in-depth look at Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Capcom has announced a Monster Hunter Rise live stream that will be all about the upcoming Sunbreak DLC.
]]>Capcom has revealed a release date and more information on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

]]>Capcom will host a livestream on March 15 which will focus on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise has had a very succesful Steam launch, as it seems players that have been waiting since 2021 to play the ex-Nintendo Switch exclusive have flocked to PC to see what all the buzz is about in Kamura Village. The PC port is even tempting people over that have pumped 100s of hours into the initial release on Switch.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise High Quality Pelt is an essential item for crafting several high rank armor sets for you and your Buddies.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise Striped Hide is a fairly common item you’ll see pop up several times when you visit the smithy.
]]>Getting the Monster Hunter Rise Rhenoplos Egg is easy in practice, but actually making it out with egg intact is another matter.
]]>The area surrounding Kamura Village is full of friendly bugs, but the Monster Hunter Rise failed to save bug is one you don’t want to run into.
]]>Knowing the best Monster Hunter Rise best Palico support type adds a layer of strategy to your recruitment plan.
]]>Capcom's latest Monster Hunter title – the brilliant Monster Hunter Rise – is finally here on PC. We've already noted that the game (in just about every way) is better on PC than it is on Nintendo Switch. But we know that you're a discerning bunch, and that our word is worth nothing if you don't have the option to see the evidence for yourself. So Dorrani and I have put a video together for you, showing off every way the latest entry in the veteran series outshines 2021's original Switch release.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise is one of the best games in the series. We knew that much from the title's Nintendo Switch launch back in 2021. It may lack some of the depth and breadth of Monster Hunter World, but this more stylized, easier-to-understand follow-up to the game that broke these games into the mainstream is still a fantastic evolution for the series, and absolutely worth your time on PC, too.
]]>There’s a lot of people out there that would call Metroid Dread the Nintendo Switch Game of the Year for 2021. In fact, many people would probably call it the Game of the Year, full stop. But I don’t even think it was the best Switch game of 2021: right back at the start of the year, Capcom surpassed all expectations with Monster Hunter Rise – a slightly more stripped-back, easy-to-play game than its undeniably more dense console sibling, Monster Hunter World.
]]>Welcome back everyone, Hope you're well rested and ready for a big year of games in 2022.
]]>What’s that? Work? It’s January already? Excuse the bleary eyes, and the inability to get up when the alarm goes off. We’re still in Christmas mode. As we bed back in to working life bringing you all the hot video game coverage and all that, we thought we’d take a few moments to scoot around the team (except for Sherif, who is still off, the lucky sod) and let you all know what we’ve been playing over the holidays.
]]>I'm not sure why choosing a Game of the year is so hard. Do I pick the game I spent the most time with? Or do I choose a game because it invoked a certain feeling the other games didn't?
]]>Great news for Monster Hunter fans! We got a new teaser for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak shown off at The Game Awards last night, and with it a small glimpse at a new monster and three new amiibo.
]]>The Monster Hunter Twitter announced that the PC demo of Monster Hunter Rise is out now on Steam. Previously a Switch exclusive game, Rise will be coming to PC early next year, and now players can get a taste of the game complete with PC enhancements.
]]>Get sharpening your insect glaive and make yourself a hot drink – it looks like you're going back to the grind in Monster Hunter Rise. Capcom has announced that it will be "unable to implement" cross-save and cross-play functionality in the PC version of the game when it launches on January 12.
]]>Monster Hunter Rise continues to be popular with audiences, so much so it has hit another sales milestone.
]]>One of the bigger reveals at TGS this year has been the release date announcement for the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise. Capcom even offered a first look at the game's much sharper visuals on PC in a gameplay trailer, and announced a demo is coming this month.
]]>Capcom announced during TGS 2021 today when we can expect Monster Hunter Rise to arrive on PC.
]]>Capcom dropped a big announcement during the Nintendo Direct presentation overnight. The critically acclaimed and very popular Monster Hunter Rise is getting an expansion. Dubbed Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the “massive” add-on will introduce new areas, new monsters, and a new quest rank.

]]>We're getting a proper look at Monster Hunter Rise's patch 2.0 next week.
