Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak details its first update, which is launching today
Overnight, Capcom hosted another Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak stream, that detailed the first update for the game, which is launching later today. The update includes new monsters, armours and an expansion to the Anomaly Quest system for increased challenges and rewards. You can check out the highlight trailer below, or the full presentation at the bottom.
Last seen in 2013’s Monster Hunter™ 3 Ultimate, Lucent Nargacuga refracts moonlight off its bright white fur to become nearly invisible, save for its piercing red eyes. Its relentless attacks and incredible swiftness make it a punishing target for even the most experienced hunters.
This agile predator makes its roost in the newly redesigned Forlorn Arena, defined by crumbling stone buildings and colonnades.
As if one unseen foe wasn’t enough to handle, hunters must also prepare for Seething Bazelgeuse to crash the party with its incredibly volatile explosive scales. Known as an airborne menace with a penchant for arriving at the most inconvenient of times, Seething Bazelgeuse brings a bombastic flair to any hunt.
Finally, Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos are also swooping into Title Update 1. These rare subspecies are even more ferocious than their iconic counterparts.
Alongside these harrowing new contenders, the Anomaly Research Quest system is being expanded as part of Title Update 1. The new Five-Star rating for Anomaly Quests has been unlocked, which includes new afflicted monsters such as Lunagaron and Magma Almudron who can be unlocked by progressing through the new Anomaly Investigation Quests.
In addition, a new quest system, Anomaly Investigations has also been added. These quests offer randomized quest conditions, such as target monsters, locales, and number of hunters at gradually increasing difficulty ratings. The higher the difficulty rating, the better the rewards! Anomaly Investigations also offer new materials that enable hunters to further customize their equipment in Qurious Crafting. Hunters can customize their preferred enhancements, such as attack power and affinity for weapons, and for armours, defence, resistance, skill points can be randomly changed. Hunters looking for specific materials can stop by Bahari the Scientist’s new Anomaly Research Lab to exchange special items gained from Anomaly Investigations with items useful for Qurious Crafting.
Finally, with all the new monsters and quests, there is new gear to get, some is specifically designed after the new monsters, like the Gold Rathian, but all of it looks nice. There is some extra paid gear to get for yourself and your buddies, those are the first two images below.
