The next entry in the Monster Hunter franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds, doesn’t arrive until Feb. 28, but if you’d like to learn more about hunting monsters for fun and profit, you can pick up the past two Monster Hunter titles, along with all of their associated DLC, for $25 at Fanatical. Included in this bundle, you’ll find both Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter World, in addition to the Sunbreak expansion for Rise, and the Iceborne expansion for World. You’ll also get access to the Deluxe Kits for each release, which feature a collection of in-game cosmetics to deck out your hunter.
Of course, if you’d prefer to just dip your toes in before plunging in head first, you can also pick up the base versions of Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter World for $10 instead.
The biggest difference between Monster Hunter Rise and World is the clear delineation of its multiplayer and single-player experiences. In World, you’ll constantly be encountering other players, while Rise has two distinct hubs for solo and multiplayer if you’d prefer a more insular experience. Otherwise, both titles still feature a similar gameplay loop where you track down massive monsters and hunt them to gather components and upgrade gear.
