Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is a ‘massive expansion’ coming next year
The paid DLC is due in Summer 2022
Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, a “massive expansion” for Monster Hunter Rise.
The new paid DLC is due for release in Summer 2022 and will include new stories, locales and monsters, as well as newly added hunting actions and quest rank.
More details on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will be revealed during Capcom’s presentation at the Tokyo Game Show on September 30.
The game has currently been enjoying a steady stream of free crossover DLC based on other Capcom properties.
A Mega Man 11 crossover launches today with the introduction of Mega Man’s robotic dog Rush as Palamute layered armour.
Last month players were given Hunter layered armour that made them look like Akuma from the Street Fighter series.
The month before this, the game added Okami’s Amaterasu as a new skin for players’ Palamute, which makes it look like the wolf god.
