So far there is no sign of G Rank within Monster Hunter Rise at launch, though this doesn't mean that will be the case permanently. As mentioned earlier a few titles in the series released G Rank within expansions. Going off of previous Monster Hunter games, Generations and World, it looks like the DLCs including this feature usually release about two years after the titles initial launch. Capcom has actually commented on the query, in October 2020 when interviewed by 4Gamer, Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto had this to say (translated by Siliconera):

"We plan to release Event Quests after Monster Hunter Rise releases. We’ll also do title updates. However, we’ve yet to consider something like the aforementioned ‘G‘ or Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. There’s still a lot more that we need to do before that.”
