For me, this is to the benefit of the expansion - I wanted more of the same, but others may have been hoping for a bit more from it. Filtering in these alongside the base game locations makes this a rather compelling package, albeit with a distinct feeling of familiarity that the expansion struggles to shake. The same can be said for the new locales, with vastly different vibes emanating from each. Returning monsters from other games in the series also keeps things fresh. They offer quite the challenge and make those Master Rank quests thoroughly enjoyable. There are three new monsters, known as ‘The Three Lords’, including the elder dragon, Malzeno, Garangolm, and Lunagron. Accompanied by several new characters, you embark on a series of single-player hunts to save the Kingdom from terror and destruction. Thankfully, it isn’t too long before you are in amongst all that new content and getting your fill of monster hunting once more. I wonder what this delightful little dragon is saying… Yes, you are fighting these big ol’ monsters, but some you’ve already fought before in these locales you’ve already visited. If anything, it’s all a little anti-climactic. There isn’t too much new content to report, and, aside from the hub world, there’s little else to get the blood pumping. The early hours of Sunbreak - see what I did there - tempered my expectations slightly. For this reviewer, I’d already played in excess of 100 hours, and I was still chomping at the bit for more which made Sunbreak an exciting proposition. That in itself is an indicator as to whether this Expansion is for you or not. In order to do so, you’ll have had to put a considerable number of hours in. Starting Sunbreak for the first time requires that you’ve already completed a very large portion of the base game. I couldn’t agree more Fugen – Sunbreak is good for ya! It has all the makings of a game in its own right - in some ways it should do, as it comes with a hefty price tag of £35.99.įugen the Elder knows what’s up. In what some have labelled DLC, an expansion, or even a cash grab, Sunbreak offers more than 30 hours’ worth of gameplay featuring new mechanics, greater challenges, and a bevy of new locales and monsters. Instead, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has been released a mere 15 months later. With over 10 million in sales, it would have been understandable if Capcom declared Rise to be its lot too. From its visuals to its performance, Rise is everything Nintendo fans could have asked for and many were most likely happy with their lot. It’s quintessential, demonstrating just what can be achieved on the hybrid Nintendo system remarkably well.

"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. 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. 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. Sunbreak has already sold more than 2 million copies across Switch and PC. 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. 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.
