Everything New in the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Digital Event (August 2022
Free title update 1.0 is coming to Monster Huntner Rise: Sunbreak on August 10. This update brings along plenty of new content for fans to sink their teeth into. The free title update brings four new monster variants to hunt. Introduced in Sunbreak, monster variants are different versions of monsters you’ve already seen. For instance, in Sunbreak, the Blood Orange Bishaten is a more complex and altered fight from the base Bishaten found in Rise. These new twists on familiar fights are challenging and take the skill of learning an entirely new set of mechanics.
In title update 1, we will see the following new monster variants:
- Seething Bazelgeuse
- Silver Rathalos
- Gold Rathian
- Lucent Nargacuga
There will also be a new area in Monster Hunter Rise called the Forlorn Arena, originally for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. All of these fights will have new armor that has a bevy of new skills to add to your customization options when fighting.
All four will feature new twists and turns on the more basic fights players expect. On top of those, there will also be weekly event quests starting on August 18. You’ll gain exclusive rewards for completing these events.
