Monster Hunter Rise has sold more than 12 million units in the two years since its release as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and one year after coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. While Capcom has not broken down the data by platform, it’s clear the game is a success.
By comparison, Monster Hunter World sold 20 million copies in over three and a half years, but was multiplatform (excluding Nintendo) from the start. This made it Capcom’s best-selling game in the company’s history, a milestone it reached far more speedily. Monster Hunter Rise is close to third place, just behind Resident Evil 5 and still a ways off its predecessor.
Still, a success is a success, and as our Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak review lays out, the DLC support for the game is also excellent. To celebrate the occasion, Capcom shared a piece of art depicting Yomogi, a chef in the game, as well as a little statement, which you can read below.
“Monster Hunter Rise has now sold more than 12 million units worldwide, and we couldn’t have done it without you – our amazing Hunters! Thank you all so much for your incredible support and passion, we know Kamura is in safe hands with you!”
