One of the Most Recognizable Monsters in the Series Just Got Meaner
The Monster Hunter games are full of creative and dangerous creatures to hunt, tame, or take awesome screenshots of, but the Rathalos stands out from the crowd. This big, spiky wyvern thing is a flying nightmare: a hyper-aggressive beast that hunts from the sky, raining down fire and striking fear into the hearts of players everywhere. Needless to say, people tend to view them with a healthy amount of fear. The Apex Rathalos is even worse. After being infected by–and overcoming–the frenzy virus, this monster entered an Apex State, making it even more powerful, durable, and above all else, ruthless. It’s going to be quite the challenge to slay this dragon.
Withstand the Rampage and gear up to save Kamura Village!

Monster Hunter Rise has announced that the Apex Rathalos will be arriving as part of Title Update One, alongside the deceptive Chameleos and several other new monsters. These new threats will add some much-needed new challenges to Rise’s monster lineup, which is just what the doctor ordered. We’re looking forward to seeing these fearsome beasts in action. And trying to kill them so we can harvest their body parts for cool gear, of course. That goes without saying.
Title Update One will be released at the end of April, which gives us about a month to practice our Rathalos-hunting skills and make sure we have the right gear to stalk a Chameleos. Happy hunting!
Monster Hunter Rise is now available on Nintendo Switch.
