Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will bring “new stories, locales, monsters, hunting actions & quest rank” to expand the world of Monster Hunter Rise. In the teaser trailer above, we can see a castle-like location and a howling dragon. It looks to be a different experience from what Monster Hunter Rise offers so far. It may be akin to Monster Hunter World’s Iceborne expansion.

More information will be revealed at TGS2021 Capcom Online Program Monster Hunter Spotlight scheduled to be held on September 30 at 6am PDT. The program will be in Japanese audio, with subtitles available in other languages.
