Background

Monster Hunter Rise is an action-RPG developed and published by Capcom.

The game originally launched on Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2021, and later released for Windows via Steam on January 12, 2022.

Capcom subsequently issued enhanced ports for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on January 20, 2023, which included technical upgrades such as higher resolution options and improved frame rates compared with the original Switch build.

The Switch version is available through the Nintendo eShop.

What was reported

Recent online reports indicate a Google search result or store listing has appeared that references Monster Hunter Rise in the context of a possible release tied to Nintendo platforms.

Those reports also noted a listed release date of September 17, which would overlap with other entries on Nintendo’s release calendar.

These listings have not been confirmed by Capcom or Nintendo at the time of publishing.

Rewritten statement (journalistic)

Sources that spotted the listing said a Google result appears to reference a new Monster Hunter Rise entry with a September 17 date.

Observers caution the listing’s authenticity is unverified, and neither Capcom nor Nintendo has issued an announcement to corroborate the information.

Verified platform history and technical notes

- Launch platforms and dates: Nintendo Switch (March 26, 2021), Windows/Steam (January 12, 2022), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (January 20, 2023).

- Technical improvements: The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S releases included higher-resolution output and more stable frame rates relative to the original Switch release; these upgrades were part of Capcom’s officially released console ports.

What to watch for

If Capcom or Nintendo issues an official statement—via a Nintendo Direct broadcast or a formal press release—those communications will confirm whether a new port or re-release is planned and supply exact release details.

Until then, the Google listing remains an unverified report and should be treated as such.

Conclusion

The Monster Hunter Rise catalog already spans Switch, PC, and modern consoles with documented performance upgrades on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Reports of an additional listing tied to a potential Nintendo successor or Switch re-release have surfaced online, but Capcom and Nintendo have not confirmed any new Monster Hunter Rise release as of this article’s publication.
