Now Playing: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak – A Kingdom's Savior Trailer
The Sunbreak expansion first launched for PC and Nintendo Switch in June 2022, and added a brand-new story that picks up shortly after the events of the main game. It also features three new, powerful creatures known as the Three Lords: Garangolm, the Fanged Wyvern Lunagaron, and the Elder Dragon Malzeno–each of which the player will take on. Sunbreak has already sold more than 2 million copies across Switch and PC.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is now available to preorder through various retailers and the PlayStation store, but currently remains unlisted on Xbox’s Games Catalog. Preorder bonuses for the regular edition of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak include new armor for your Palamute and Palico, while the Deluxe edition features new gestures and armor for you character.
“Sunbreak might not be as substantial as some of the franchise’s previous expansions, like Iceborne was for Monster Hunter World, but it improves upon Rise’s foundations with another thrilling selection of hunts. It’s just a shame most of them are overly familiar,” reviewer Richard Wakeling said. For more, check out GameSpot’s Sunbreak review.
