Monster Hunter Rise’s Sunbreak expansion is drawing ever-nearer to its June release on PC and Switch, and, in anticipation of its eventual arrival, Capcom has offered a closer look at its new Citadel map and new armoured monkey monster Garangolm in action.
Come Sunbreak’s release, players will have the opportunity to depart for new climes, with the bustling port town of Elgado Outpost serving as the expansion’s colourful new hub area. From there, it’s just a short hop to Sunbreak’s brand-new map, The Citadel – which combines a diverse range of biomes, including lush forests, icy mountains, and foggy swampland, with a huge ruined castle as its centrepiece.
Capcom describes The Citadel – said to be a once thriving, but now devastated part of the kingdom, slowly being reclaimed by nature – as a “key location” for Sunbreak’s new Master Rank quests in its video showcase, taking viewers on tour of the castle and its surroundings biomes, as well as offering a glimpse of the location’s new endemic life.
