The first trailer we see today is dedicated to the powerful Great Sword, while the second showcases the game’s complex technique for the Switch Axe.

You can check out both trailers below.

“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.”

“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.”

Monster Hunter Rise will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2021.
