Specifically, on this occasion new monsters have been detailed through a series of concept arts that Capcom has shared. We leave them below, in addition to detailing other keys to this work that has been in development for more than 4 years.

Detailed new monsters for Monster Hunter Rise
First of all, we get to see a new creature that is part of the game’s endemic life lineup, the Stinkmink, which basically forces monsters to attack and chase you. It is a kind of white skunk that will leave us a trail by which the largest monsters can easily detect us. This is something that we will want to avoid, since we will become the hunted instead of having our usual role of hunters.

As for the concept art unveiled for the first time, we can see both the references that have been used to conceive the monster known as Tetranadon and those of the Aknosom. The first reminds us of a kind of crocodile or frog with peacock feathers, while the second is a bird standing upright on two legs that has a sharp beak and red wings reminiscent of an open umbrella.

Last but not least, producer Yasunori Ichinose previews us a new monster with this nifty post: “I don’t want to say too much, but if you can keep this a secret … I have a clue for you about something that starts with a” M “and ends in” -onster. I can only show this for now, but it might inspire some conjecture! For the record, it’s not a fried shrimp. “
I don’t wanna say too much, but if you can keep this on the down-low … I’ve got a hint for ya about something that begins with an “M” and ends in “-onster”
I can only show this for now, but maybe it will inspire some guesses! For the record, it’s not a fried prawn.
