From now on, a free demo of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is available for download in the Nintendo eShop for Switch. In the demo version, you can hunt a total of three large monsters: Great Maccao, Barioth, and Valstrax
What is Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate? Monster Hunter Generations is the fourth main installment of the series before Monster Hunter World. The Ultimate version is released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch and introduces the G-Rank to the game.
This means there are even stronger monsters to hunt. In G-Rank, many hunters experience the “true” endgame.
Hunt 3 large monsters in the free demo version
We will briefly introduce the monsters here.
Great Maccao
Description: The Great Maccao is a bird wyvern and is known for using its strong legs to kick. Thanks to its muscular legs, this monster can also make a quick sprint.
Its spiked tail is used by the Great Maccao to catapult itself into the air and to make further jumps. Its greatest weakness is the fire element.
Barioth
Description: The Barioth is a flying wyvern and resembles a cat. This monster is covered in ice plates and belongs to the ice element as well.
The Barioth moves smoothly and quickly. It uses its wings to attack from the air. Even experienced hunters fear its long claws and fangs. With its tail, the Barioth can execute wide, sweeping attacks that trigger a status effect. The Barioth is weak against fire and thunder.
Valstrax
Description: The Valstrax is an elder dragon enveloped in shimmering silver scales. The Valstrax is a torpedo in the air and zooms through the sky at lightning speed. This is aided by the dragon element it emits from its wings. Its wings are special as they can change shape, thereby influencing the Valstrax’s attacks.
When will Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate be released?
On August 28, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch: There will then be more than 80 large monsters to hunt and the G-Rank with stronger beasts.
There will also be new hunting techniques that feature touchscreen support. Hunting techniques are super moves that provide you with more variation in combat and specialization. You can also become a Palico and hunt monsters.
How does Monster Hunter Generations differ from Monster Hunter World? This is a version prior to Monster Hunter World. So there are fewer comfort features, and the game is a bit clunkier. You can read more about this in our special:
