Monster Hunter: Rise - Official Trailer

The official trailer for Rise tells us more about our mission in the game and shows some battle scenes against the dangerous beasts we will encounter in the game:

Honestly, if you don't feel like dropping everything to go into battle, you've got real problems. The trailer looks insanely good and simply makes you want more! Moreover, the official trailer already shows a new monster that will be added with an update only after the game's release: Chameleos.

Chameleos is a dragon elder that first appeared in Monster Hunter 2. It can turn invisible, which is why many fans have already joked in the comments that it will simply turn invisible until the update is released. Now you see me, now you don't! John Cena sends his regards.

Chameleos can greatly lower a fighter's defenses with its saliva and it also secretes poison. Chameleos can spit acid, create wind waves with his tail, and rob monster hunters with his tongue. All the annoying abilities packed into one monster!

The update that will bring Chameleos into the game is expected to be released at the end of April.
