In an interview with Capcom Unity, Monster Hunter Rise Director Yasunori Ichinose shared his thoughts about the upcoming title, including fan reception and response.
In regards to gameplay elements in Monster Hunter Rise, Ichinose mentioned that each player will be able to take either a Palamute or Palico with them in multiplayer missions.
This means that a total of eight characters will be able to participate in hunts in Monster Hunter Rise.
Director Ichinose was pleased with the international response to the Palamute, and mentions that the new canine companion has grown on him due to the time he’s spent with Monster Hunter Rise.
