Monster Hunter Rise players will take on Apex Rathalos with next month's Title Update

The launch trailer for Monster Hunter Rise provides a look at one of the monsters coming soon to the game.

Monster Hunter Rise is out today with plenty of monsters to fight, but there are more beasts on the horizon.

Next month in a post-launch update, Capcom will add Apex Rathalos which you can get a look at toward the end of the launch trailer posted below.

As part of April's Title Update Version 2, Apex Rathalos will be joining Chameleos as the next monster to fight. Going by the trailer, there will be "several new monsters" added, but Capcom didn't reveal what they are or how many others to expect.

The late April update will also unlock Hunter Rank. You can start earning HR points once you unlock your Hunter rank.

Title Update 3 is also in the works, and while there isn't a release date for it, there will be more monsters and a new ending to look forward to.

Again, the game is out today for Nintendo Switch, and to help you get started, check out our Monster Hunter Rise guide. It has plenty of tips for beginners and covers subjects such as combat, farming, bosses, and much more.
