Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is available on the Nintendo Switch and PC. Take a look at our guide to get help in the game. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is an action role-playing game that is the sixth installment in the Monster Hunter series. In this expansion that introduces a Master Rank tier you take the role of a Hunter, tasked with slaying or capturing large monsters using a variety of weapons, tools, and environmental features to damage and weaken them while surviving their attacks. Successful completion of the offered quests provides loot, typically in the form of various monster parts from the monster, which are used to forge new armor and weapons that can be used to take on more powerful monsters, forming the series' notable core loop.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak follows many of the new conventions established in Monster Hunter: World, while also introducing new features and mechanics, including a new animal companion called a Palamute that can be used to ride across the map or into battle, and the use of Wirebugs to traverse the world and mount and ride certain monsters.
