Here’s the announcement in full:

Players across Europe will be able to join the hunt in style on 26th March, when the Nintendo Switch Monster Hunter Rise Edition and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Monster Hunter Rise Edition launch alongside Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch, the latest instalment in Capcom’s acclaimed action RPG series.

The Nintendo Switch Monster Hunter Rise Edition features an image of Magnamalo, the game’s flagship monster, on the dock, along with other evocative Monster Hunter Rise-themed designs that adorn the console and both Joy-Con controllers. It also comes bundled with a download code for Monster Hunter Rise plus the Deluxe Kit DLC* and bonus content. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Monster Hunter Rise Edition is sold separately, and also features a striking Magnamalo design.

A free demo of Monster Hunter Rise is available until 31st January. Players can take on four different quests, learn how to use the new Wirebug and Wyvern Riding features and get to grips with Monster Hunter Rise’s 14 different weapon types. Two of the quests can be tackled with other players in local or online co-op multiplayer.
