Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak features new areas inspired by gothic and European architecture, boasting massive castles alongside forest thickets and snowy mountains. Elgado, the expansion’s new hub, seems like an outpost straight out of western high fantasy. Garangolm, Lunagaron, and elder dragon Malzano are the largest threats to this newfound kingdom. These are the “Three Lords,” and players must work with the Knights of the Royal Order to defeat each one of them. Pre-ordering the expansion provides the “Striped Cat Costume” and “Loyal Dog Costume,” both of which might be available after launch anyway. With Sunbreak, we can look forward to a new narrative, more monsters to hunt down, fresh areas, and a new hunting rank: Master Rank.
