Monster Hunter has lived up to the expectation of gamers. The graphics, concept of loots, and the surreal atmosphere of battle have given the players quite the adrenaline rush. Now, Capcom is getting ready for the Monster Hunter Rise PC release.
The Rise is a successor of the Monster Hunter World. The former was released in 2018 for gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. The x86 architectural design was helpful in releasing the PC version in mere 6 months. However, the issue with Monster Hunter Rise is not the same. Considering the factors, it is certain that the game is set to release for PC/Laptop in early 2022.
The game was originally released for Nintendo Switch. It is well optimized for 720p and 1080p in the handheld console. To launch the game for the PC version is quite a feat. Capcom has to work on the game code as a whole to meet the specifications of today’s gaming computers.
The game is built on Capcom’s RE Engine. The same engine was used to design popular games like the sequels of Resident Evil. RE engine is a very adaptable engine for future PC releases. This could be a deciding factor for the lessened delay of its release.
What to expect from Monster Hunter Rise ?
From the conferences in November 2020, we can say that Rise will be already compatible with the upcoming gaming customizations in terms of hardware. The frame rates and the resolution has to be well treated as well due to the trend of 144 Hz powerful monitors. The leaks found from trusted sources can also confirm that we can expect quite an upgrade in terms of the graphical interface.
Keeping in mind the V-sync options and anisotropic filtering, Rise developers have also been working on texture aliasing and infinite display monitor adaptability. It is rumored that the PC version will also have the 21:9 ultrawide support.
