In just over a month, one of Capcom's most anticipated title expansions, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, will be released on the market. The team is amping up excitement for the game with regular updates on social media, whether it is about the new monster hunt footage or interesting features of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Now, Capcom has announced that another Sunbreak digital event is taking place this May and that the team is going to reveal more information about the expansion.The most recent Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak digital event happened last March, and during that livestream, Capcom revealed the expansion's official release date for June 2022. Alongside providing snippets of the new area Elgado, key locale The Citadel, and even the variety of new NPCs the hunter will meet, the team also revealed both new and returning monsters that will appear in Sunbreak. Context about the main monsters of the expansion — the Malzeno, Lunagaron, and Garangolm — was shared during the digital event, including the monsters' crucial roles in the main story of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Capcom took to Twitter to announce the official date and time of the next MH Rise: Sunbreak digital event, which will happen on May 10, 2022, 7:00 PDT / 15:00 BST. The program will be hosted by the game's current director Yoshitake Suzuki, who took over from the previous Monster Hunter Rise director Yasunori Ichinose. Interested fans can tune in to Monster Hunter's official Twitch channel, but the livestream will likely be broadcasted simultaneously on the series' official Facebook and YouTube platforms as well.
The official post does not share any other details except for the schedule of the digital event. However, the team said that new gameplay info and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak monsters, among other updates, will be shared with the community. Fans are likely hoping that Capcom will announce a new demo so that they can get a small taste of the fight against flagship elder dragon Malzeno, or that more of the player base's favorite monsters will be revealed during the digital event.
Nevertheless, Capcom is likely timing all its Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak activities just right. This is probably so that excitement will continue to build up within the community until the game officially releases on June 30, 2022. Hopefully the digital event will give fans enough satisfaction and unveil more exciting features that they can look forward to in the upcoming expansion.
Monster Hunter Rise is available now for PC and Switch, and Sunbreak will release on June 30.
