Capcom have released gameplay trailers for Monster Hunter Rise, showcasing the Insect Glaive and Gunlance weapon types.
As previously reported, the new trailers not only show how the weapons battle against tooth and claw, each weapon also has a Silkbind Attack that grant bonuses depending on the silk used- such as buffs or special attacks.
Capcom had previously released a trailer for the Great Sword, Bow, Dual Blades, Long Sword, Lance, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer, and Sword & Shield weapon types.
While the Insect Glaive and Gunlance were officially released, it seems the Hunting Horn was briefly released in French before being taken down. You can find it re-uploaded by a third party here. We will keep you informed once that trailer is officially released in English, and in better quality.
You can find the Insect Glaive and Gunlance weapon type trailers (and their rundowns via their video descriptions) below.
“Ace of airborne combat. The Insect Glaive excels at aerial hunting tactics with the combination of a nimble staff and a Kinsect that absorbs essences from monsters, converting them to buffs.
‘Recall Kinsect’ is a silkbind attack that calls back your Kinsect while dodging. As it returns, it will perform spinning attacks that scatter restorative extracts, healing the hunter and recovering all of its stamina.”
“Unflinching, explosive artillery. The Gunlance brings together an impenetrable defense with high-power ballistics. Stagger your prey with a bevy of bombardments and dish out massive damage with its signature Wyvern’s Fire attack.
‘Guard Edge’ is a silkbind attack that takes incoming attacks and restores your weapon’s sharpness, making it ready for retaliation.”
Monster Hunter Rise launches worldwide for Nintendo Switch, on March 26th, 2021. During the Capcom ransomware leaks however, alleged Capcom files claimed the game would head to Windows PC in October 2021.
Those leaks claimed the game would have a demo or demos launched between January and March 2021. A demo was officially announced to launch in January.
