PS5’s release of Monster Hunter Rise appears to be set for January 20

It does seem that Monster Hunter Rise will launch on the PS5 on January 20, 2023, but hold your breath a little bit because this “official” confirmation comes from a leak from Xbox Germany that has since been removed. The figurative Felyne is now largely out of the bag, though we assume that it was planned to be revealed in some form at The Game Awards:

 

Original Story: According to a recent report from Insider Gaming, Monster Hunter Rise will arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S as early as January 20, 2023. If the rumor is accurate, confirmation will probably be made at The Game Awards the following week. The article has a fair amount of credibility because it came from The Snitch, Tom Henderson’s website that specializes in insider leaks.

The port will reportedly support 3D Audio and run at “4K60” (4K resolution at 60 frames per second). It seems that Sunbreak will also be getting another addition in the spring of 2023.

In March 2021, Monster Hunter Rise received a successful initial release on the Nintendo Switch, where it went on to sell more than 11 million copies. When the game first came out, our sister site Nintendo Life gave it a 9/10 and stated: “Monster Hunter Rise is a new pinnacle for the franchise, featuring fresh mechanics, terrifying new creatures, and a stunning setting. While the package may be a little intimidating for newcomers, it’s arguably the best place to start if you’re serious about getting into the franchise. The Wirebug, Switch Skills, Palamute, and carefully thought-out monsters shake things up enough to make the game feel fresh for hunters who have previously spent thousands of hours with the series.”
