Does Monster Hunter Rise's story require knowledge from previous games?
No. Monster Hunter Rise's story is its own self-contained adventure. Most of the games' plots are episodic, "Monster of the week" type stories that don't carry over into different games.
The only exceptions are the expansion packs or enhanced editions of games that directly continue the base game's story. These include Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
