Capcom’sMonster HunterRise: Sunbreakcontinued the established precedent fromMonster Hunter Worldand itsIceborneupdate by introducing a massive expansion roughly a year after the release of the phenomenalMonster Hunter Rise. BothRiseand theSunbreakexpansion have brought one of the best rosters of monsters to the series in quite some time, giving players virtually hundreds of hours of potential content to sink their teeth into by engaging in the series' trademark hunts and using the spoils to craft better gear. TheMonster Hunterloop is an addictive one, and it all stems from the strength of the hunts themselves.

Of course, hunting monsters would be pointless if the fights against these creatures weren’t filled with strategic combat and white-knuckled tension, andMonster Hunter Rise Sunbreakintroduces some great fights to an already solid base game experience.Sunbreak’s use of a medieval fantasy aesthetic compared toMonster Hunter Rise’s Japan-inspired settingallows for the introduction of some unique monsters for players to gear up and hunt down. In addition to several returning fan favorites from previousMonster Huntertitles and variants of monsters fromRise,Sunbreakintroduces 4 brand-new monsters to the franchise.
