Monster Hunter Rise pre-order bonuses revealed

Best Buy has unveiled an all-new pre-order bonus that will accompany Monster Hunter Rise on Nintendo Switch. Fans who choose to acquire the game from the retailer will receive a SteelBook case, as well as a pre-order bonus pack filled with various in-game items. There are currently three options to purchase the game, including the standard version, an edition luxury and a collector’s edition. While the Collector’s Edition is currently not available for pre-order, all three options will also come with the SteelBook and Bonus Pack! This additional bonus may well encourage some players to pick up the game from the retailer!

The Pre-Order Bonus Pack includes the following in-game items:

• Palamute Golden Retriever Costume (Layered Armor)
• Palico Forest Cat Costume (Layered Armor)
• Novice Stat Boost Talisman

True to its name, the Palamute Golden Retriever costume will make the player’s in-game partner look like that specific dog breed! In addition to Best Buy’s pre-order bonus, Capcom has revealed that players can get a number of free in-game items by playing the game’s demo, which is currently available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This demo will be leaving the digital storefront on February 1, however, so players who haven’t jumped on it yet will want to do so very quickly!

Monster Hunter Rise represents the next major entry in Capcom’s beloved franchise. The publisher is giving the game a really big boost ahead of release, with the announcement of everything from amiibo figures, to a Monster Hunter-themed Nintendo Switch console, and a game-based Pro controller. Unfortunately, the console and the Pro Controller have not been announced for release in North America, as of yet. For now, fans across the region will just have to settle for the many related items that have been announced so far!

Monster Hunter Rise is set to release worldwide on March 26, exclusively on Nintendo Switch. You can check out all of our previous covers of the game here. Best Buy’s pre-order page for all three versions of the game can be found here.
