Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak gets Flaming Espinas gameplay

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has just received some new gameplay footage showing off Flaming Espinas, one of the monsters that will be appearing in the game’s second free title update. The footage is courtesy of Famitsu and shows off 12 minutes of a couple of hunts against the new thorn wyvern.

Here is some more information on everything being added in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak’s Title Update 2:

The previously announced return of Flaming Espinas from Monster Hunter Frontier sets the stage for another blazing beast’s reveal: Violet Mizutsune. This creature’s alluring bubbles are actually filled with a highly combustible gas that can turn any graceful movement into an inferno of white-hot flame. Finally, an Elder Dragon capable of overcoming the affliction has been sighted. Risen Chameleos has managed to achieve symbiosis with the Qurio, and through this diabolical union has gained incredible power and even more devious attacks. Hunters bold enough to challenge these overwhelming foes will receive materials for crafting new weapons and armor complete with new skills.

Additionally, a new tier of Anomaly Quests will be added, and will include challenging targets like Gore Magala and Espinas. Anomaly Investigations are also being expanded, with an increased level cap of 120, and new afflicted materials. Hunters crafty enough to survive the challenge will be able to unlock new options for Qurious Crafting, including added Anomaly Slots and other new upgrades for weapons. Fashion Hunters also have reason to rejoice, as Title Update 2 will introduce layered weapons. This system enables hunters to change the appearance of their weapon to combine their favorite stats and designs. Finally, this update also includes new paid DLC such as the Master Arlow layered armor set, layered weapons, gestures, poses, hairstyles, and more.

New Event Quests will continue to arrive every week, and A-List Hunters eager for even more challenges can look forward to future title updates, as new monsters and more are just around the corner with Title Update 3 launching in late November.

Watch the new gameplay featuring Flaming Espinas below.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Title Update 2 will be releasing on September 29, 2022.
