A Japanese company has made the release date of Monster Hunter: Rise an official holiday for its employees.

According to a tweet posted by Stealth, the staff of Mark-On Ltd will be getting the day off because many of them applied for leave on 26 March, which is the release date of the game.

Apparently, the higher-ups noticed this pattern and decided to make the day an official holiday for their staff.

The staff’s response has been largely positive and other Monster Hunter fans have been tweeting wishing that their employers will follow suit.

The Monster Hunter series is very popular in Japan and each release gains a lot of attention. As mentioned before, Monster Hunter Rise comes out on 26 March 2021.
