Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak – Digital Event roundup

The DLC Sunbreak is coming shortly. Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer in charge of the presentation of this digital-event, announced it on June 30, 2022.

The large monsters

Let’s begin with the blood and guts of war: monsters. In its initial teaser, Sunbreak hinted at the presence of its monster-emblem: the Elder Dragon Malzeno, who seems to be behind a bizarre new occurrence that we’ll have to figure out. His new look in this clip suggests that he’ll be accompanied by little flying insects. What would his abilities be? We’ll have to wait and see in the future. The first subspecies, a classic of the expanded versions then expansions of monster hunter, may be seen among the heads previously known.

As a result, the Bishaten will be able to shift their color to orange colors. In this variation, he tosses explosive pine cones instead of fruit. The Lunagaron made an appearance as well, with the narrator clarifying that, as one would expect, he does encase his body in ice armor when angered. A feature reminiscent to the fourth-generation Zamtrios.

In the person of Astlos, we were also entitled to our first ghost during Sunbreak! This one-of-a-kind flying wyvern from Monster Hunter Generations can use electricity to power his body. I’Astalos possesses membrane-covered wings and a pincer-shaped tail, which are similar to those of insects. Finally, the Garangolm brings a fresh face to the cast. If its taxonomy isn’t proven, its strength is undeniable, considering the beast’s build! He has a slight resemblance to a large rhinoceros with much more intimidating qualities. It has greenish plates covering the top of its body, and when angered, it can manage both water and fire, each element being controlled by one of its forelegs.

More things to come

Capcom was also not generous with data about the background around the journey that awaits us in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak in the press department. The new operational base Elgado showed us a bit more of his finery and personalities. The canteen, forge, quest counter, and other basic infrastructure are all there. All of this is brought to life by new colorful characters like Admiral Galleus, who will serve as the on-site operations manager, and the new questor Chichae.

Fiorayne, the knight who will meet us in Kamura, has been given a name and will be requesting our hunter’s assistance in rescuing his homeland after a Lunagaron broke into the Forgotten Temple. In the meanwhile, the map from the first teaser has been presented in further depth. The Citadel, with its multiple turrets and ruins, is well titled. A Filoptera’s ideal playground to trudge in all directions. New varieties will also be available to the local wildlife.

Monster Hunter Rise news

Finally, Capcom provided further information on the various versions of this new expansion, as well as information on the original game Monster Hunter Rise. Sunbreak will be available for download for people who already possess the main game when it is released. A normal edition will simply feature the extension for 39.99€, while a “Deluxe” version will add cosmetics like voices, postures, and fancy armors to all of this new material for an extra shot of 10€.

When purchased individually, the Deluxe Bonuses cost 14,99€. Finally, starting June 30, a version of the original game and its expansion will be available, both in normal and “Double Deluxe” versions, which include all of the game’s and expansion’s extras. The basic bundle will include a physical edition of Monster Hunter Rise with a new cover, but it will still need a download to access the content of Sunbreak. This addition will also include new amiibos, which will unlock unique armor for chumskysthe Palicoes, as well as your hunter.

In preparation for the release of the expansion Sunbreak, new material has been added to the game, enabling it to be finished more rapidly. The tree Defender’s arms, as well as the armor Black belt and the Veteran’s Talisman, are all available for free when you start a game. Harvesting is much simpler with the Guild Cross armor. Capcom also informs Nintendo Switch Online users that the game is accessible for free for a week. If you want to take the leap, it’s also on sale for €39.99 on the Nintendo eShop for the next five days. Finally, we were assured that upon the release of Sunbreak, whether or not you buy the extension, the game will get an update balance.

It will be necessary to play online and it should be 13 GB in size. Event quests will be released on a regular basis until March 25.
