A few days ago i asked about the resurgence of Monhun and why World got more attention than Rise. Though i was given a correct answer i have learned more and will now share.
Turns out its quite simple, Rise is not a mainline MH game while World is MH5.
MH Wild will be the next mainline game and MH6 (you can tell they are mainline and their number by counting the dragonheads in the logo)
Issue is that while old fans of the series were already aware of this dynamic, new fans weren't. And as it turns out the vast majority of MH fans spawned from World, it was technically a cult game untill World's success.
As a final note the series will probably continue the dynamic of a mainline release with a more serious development and care for traditions, and offshoot games with more experimental ideas
