Capcom has released a new set of trailers for Monster Hunter Rise introducing the Great Sword and Switch Axe weapons.

Here is an overview of each weapon, via Capcom (Google-translated from German):

Great Sword

Overwhelming, destructive power. The Great Sword offers chopping blows with incredible power. Charge up attacks for additional damage!

“Power-Stow” is a silkbind attack in which you sprint with the help of the Wire Bug and stow your sword to increase your attack power for a short time.

Switch Axe

Mighty, transformative power. A lot can be done with the technology of the Switch Axe:

• Axe Mode – Fluid movements and heavy blows.
• Sword Mode – Quick, reinforced blows.

Sword vial effects now also apply to Axe Mode.

“Invincible Gambit” is a silkbind attack that reinforces the hunter and protects against shrinking or being knocked over.

Previous weapon trailers introduced the Gunlance, Insect Glaive, Hammer, Sword & Shield, Heavy Bowgun, Light Bowgun, Lance, Long Sword, Bow, and Dual Blades.

Monster Hunter Rise is due out for Switch on March 26, 2021 worldwide. A limited-time demo is due out on January.

Watch the trailers below. (Editor’s Note: Both videos were uploaded by Capcom Germany, but not by Capcom’s western and Japanese counterparts like previous weapon trailers, leading us to believe they were not supposed to go live yet. Backup streams have been provided for each in the event that they are removed.)
