The game is offered in Standard and Deluxe Editions. But the latter includes these goodies:

Rider's Layered Armor:

Navirou's Outfits:
- Pukei-Pukei Costume
- Nergigante Costume
Rider's Hairstyle:

Sticker Sets:

- Adventure Buddies 3

While there’s still no date given for preorders, those who do will get the Outfit for Ena: Kamura Maiden Outfit as a bonus.

Besides the game, there’s also an amiibo offer that unlocks a different special layered armor set in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. The amiibos are:

[Ena amiibo]
[Razewing Ratha amiibo]
[Tsukino amiibo]

Finally, those who link up their data to Monster Hunter Rise get the Rider's Layered Armor: Kamura Garb.
