Posted on September 30, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
At TGS 2021 today, Capcom confirmed that Malzeno is the flagship monster for the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion. It’s confirmed to be “a fierce elder dragon”, but Capcom didn’t have a whole lot else to say.
Outside of Malzeno, we do have a little bit of additional news. Shogun Ceanataur, a crab-like monster who first appeared in Monster Hunter 2, will be present in Sunbreak as well.
Here are a couple of videos for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak teasing both Malzeno and Shogun Ceanataur:

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak was first announced in the latest Nintendo Direct last week. It includes a new storyline and new base of operations, as well as new locales, monsters, gameplay features, quest rank (Master), and more. Players will need to own the base game and complete the 7-star Hub Quest called “Serpent Goddess of Thunder” in Monster Hunter Rise before they can take on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Note that all progress from the base game can be transferred to the expansion when played on the same system.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will arrive for Switch in Summer 2022. Stay tuned for more updates about the DLC in the months to come.
