Monster Hunter's Unique Weapon Designs Revealed

Feb 19,2025 Author: Allison

Concerns about weapon design similarity in Monster Hunter Rise (Wilds is likely a typo) have been addressed by Director Yuya Tokuda. Unlike Monster Hunter: World, where weapon appearances were largely determined by monster materials, Monster Hunter Rise features uniquely designed weapons.

Tokuda stated that while World weapons retained a base form with cosmetic variations, each weapon in Rise boasts a distinct design. This directly contrasts with World's approach, where many weapon lines, even at their highest upgrade levels, exhibited significant visual similarity. The image below illustrates this point, showcasing the striking resemblance between certain endgame weapons in World.

This information was revealed during a discussion about Rise's new starting weapons and the Hope series gear, which includes newly unveiled concept art. Further details can be found in an accompanying interview about the Oilwell Basin and its inhabitants, including the Apex monster, Nu Udra.

Monster Hunter Rise launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 28th. IGN First will feature additional exclusive content throughout January, including 4K gameplay videos showcasing hunts against Ajarakan and Rompopolo, an interview with the development team, and a closer look at the game's food system.
