The new version of the Nintendo Switch gamepad is set toarrive alongsidetheSunbreakDLC on June 30. During today’s digital showcase, we got a few glam shots, with more appearing on social media.
The specialSunbreakSwitch Pro Controller has a nice little design of Malzeno, the vampiric elder dragon that’s at the heart ofSunbreak‘s story. No extra-special colors or designs for the grips, though.
Monsters, followers, and more
Today’s showcasedove into many different featureson the way forMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. There are new monsters, like the aforementioned Malzeno and some new variants.MH4U‘s scaly Seregios also makes an appearance. Old faces are getting some master rank versions too, to make their hunts feel brand new and even more dangerous.
Follower Quests are also coming toMonster Hunter RisethroughSunbreak, allowing players to undertake quests with NPCs. These are single-player-only missions, but you’ll be able to team up with some recognizable characters, including those both in the new kingdom and the old village. It feels a little like the Trust system fromFinal Fantasy XIV, and I’m hoping it adds a similar boost to single-player forMonster Hunter.
Switch Skills are also getting a big update through the new Swap system, allowing players to flip between loadouts of Switch Skills. Alongside a new Evade move, it seems like each weapon type will be able to get a little more creative. And the Malzeno Pro Controller will probably help out with landing all those sick new combos.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakis coming to Nintendo Switch and PC on Jun 04, 2025. TheSunbreakSwitch Pro Controller is set to debut on the same date.
