Concerns about weapon design similarity in Monster Hunter Rise (Wilds is likely a typo) have been addressed by Director Yuya Tokuda. Unlike Monster Hunter: World, where weapon designs primarily varied based on monster materials, Monster Hunter Rise features uniquely designed weapons.
Tokuda stated that while World's weapons retained a base form with cosmetic variations, Rise's weapons boast distinct designs. This directly counters concerns about repetitive weapon appearances.
