Hunters can use the “Switch Skills” for each weapon (14 total) to create unique combos and strategies. While playing multiplayer, the game will automatically adjust the difficulty to help new players who are getting their feet wet. During hunts, players can create tags to search for players or invite them on quests. The tagging system calling itself is called”Hunter Connect” and plans to help matchmaking easier and efficient. Monster Hunter veterans will be eager to see Zinogre and Nargacuga make an appearance in the upcoming game. A second demo drops on the Nintendo eShop on March 11th. Monster Hunter Rise scheduled to release March 26, 2021, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
