Monster Hunter Rise has already shipped four million global units on Switch

Rising to expectations

Capcom has that its brand new release Monster Hunter Rise has gotten off to a brilli🌄ant start, with the company having already shipped four million physical and digital copies of the fantasy adventure worldwide.

The action-RPG, which launched on March 26, is already winning over both critics and fans with its vibrant worlds and challenging quests, all powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine. Monster Hunter Rise arrives at a time when the series has never been more of a household name, mainly thanks to the incredible success of 2018 release Monster Hunter World – the publisher’s best-selling game of all-time.

As an interesting comparison, Monster Hunter World shipped five million copies in the same time period, but that was across two platforms. As such, Monster Hunter Rise is on course to becoming another juggernaut in Capcom’s portfolio. Monster Hunter Rise is available now on Nintendo Switch, and wil🍸l launch on PC early 2🦋022.
