The video, below, gives us a brief overview of the flow of a hunt, wielding a Great Sword and with two Palamutes.

It’s the series’ debut in Capcom’s RE Engine - indeed, it’s the RE Engine’s debut on the Switch - and the first proper dedicated Monster Hunter for Nintendo’s hybrid device following the port of the 3DS’ Generations back in 2018. Martin’s in-depth Monster Hunter Rise preview has a lot more information.
