Monster Hunter is one of the longest-running gaming series you can find, with over a dozen different titles on a multitude of platforms.<\/p>\n

The most recent is Monster Hunter Rise, available on Switch and PC via Steam.<\/p>\n

Well received on both platforms, Rise was announced to be receiving its G Rank DLC titled Sunbreak in June of this year.<\/p>\n

Since June is fast approaching, we\u2019ve decided to give you all the details you\u2019ll need to decide whether or not you\u2019d be interested in it.<\/p>\n

Now is a great time to begin playing Rise, as you will have six weeks before the DLC releases to get your character up to level.<\/p>\n

G Rank<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re new to Monster Hunter or have only played one or two titles like the excellent Monster Hunter World, you may not be familiar with G Rank.<\/p>\n

It is an umbrella term used to refer to the massive DLC pack most major Monster Hunter games receive after release.<\/p>\n

These DLCs always add the final level of difficulty to the games – namely Master Rank quests introduced in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.<\/p>\n

This addition doesn’t just upscale the difficulty of the pre-existing monsters and areas band areas but also adds a massive roster of new monsters and locations.<\/p>\n

Usually, the sheer quantity of these additions means the G Rank DLCs are almost as large as the base games they were made for.<\/p>\n

Sunbreak<\/h3>\n

Therefore, Sunbreak is slated to double the content currently in Rise, which already offers an excellent deal for players.<\/p>\n

This content is centred around introducing several new features, monsters and areas.<\/p>\n

In the DLC, you will venture to a new area filled with never before seen monsters and a fresh cast of characters.<\/p>\n

Like Iceborne before it, the new area will add a unique hub zone from which to venture out on hunts, craft weapons, and hang out with other Hunters.<\/p>\n

From this hub zone, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to hunt a new roster of monsters, returning beasts from previous games and entirely new monsters.<\/p>\n

New Features<\/h3>\n

Also, like Iceborne before it, Sunbreak is set to add new gameplay mechanics.<\/p>\n

In Iceborne, the addition of the clutch claw allowed Hunters to latch onto monsters and granted a new layer to its already expansive combat.<\/p>\n

Sunbreak follows a similar path and will add a new mechanic to augment the Wirebug combat skills introduced in Rise.<\/p>\n

Sunbreak will also offer a new hunting option where players can team up with NPC hunters.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h3>\n

Sunbreak offers a massive amount of new content for Monster Hunter fans and a greater incentive to play Rise if you\u2019ve been on the fence.<\/p>\n

The DLC will offer new monsters, new NPCs, a range of new areas and exciting new mechanics.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that after its release, players can expect to see more free content added over time, as was the case with Iceborne.<\/p>\n
