Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will introduce plenty of new content and mechanics to the latest entry in the popular series by CAPCOM. More information on what the expansion will introduce will come during a new Digital Event which will air next week, on May 10th.
After being summoned to aid the distant Kingdom by the gallant knight Dame Fiorayne, the hunters set out for the port of Elgado Outpost. This bustling maritime waystation is the home of the Laboratory researching the abnormal monster activity troubling the Kingdom, and the Command Post tasked with restoring peace to the realm. The threat befalling the Kingdom is closely linked to powerful creatures known as the Three Lords, each inspired by staples of Western horror. Researching the Three Lords will take hunters across the Kingdom to exciting new locales, including the newly-unveiled Citadel.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will launch on PC and Nintendo Switch on June 30th worldwide. The base game is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch worldwide.
