Have they added new monsters? I can’t remember anything new on my second play through only a month ago. Or maybe it is online only.
I want the filters like the PC players have
Confession: I bought the game, but it’s still in shrink wrap. 🥲🥲🥲
@blindsquarel I'd be surprised if we get any new monsters before Sunbreak.
I have the game, I've played the very first tutorial mission, and that's about it. I tried one other mission and failed terribly and I'm just so terribly busy the next couple months
@burninmylight
I mean like in past updates. On another note sun break is probably the first 20$ plus dlc I will ever buy. That’s how good this game is.
A good reminder to jump back in proper! I haven't had the dock or monitor hooked up for quite a while, so once the Arceus Split Pad Pro arrives I'll jump back in on handheld.
@blindsquarel I don't think they've added any monsters since the addition of Valstrax, new Apexes, and the final storymode monster, which were about half a year or so ago.
@blindsquarel It would be a strange thing to do, since every new monster they'd add now would mean one less new monster for Sunbreak.
This game is one of the best on the switch.
@blindsquarel
I love the game too and will definitely be investing in the dlc. But I feel the dlc not 20$ + it’s gonna be 39-49$ Which sadly will put a lot of players off. (Not me tho).
If the install base currently sits at 8m for this base title I expect the dlc will sell about 1-2m at most.
I also feel that once with get to the 1 year anniversary the event quest dlc will cease.
At that time we will get the new trailer for sunbreak with release date and maybe the option to pre-order.
Who’s thinking when sunbreak summer release will be?
Sound off below 👇
I put in over 90 hrs by May last year which was only 2 mos. after the game released. I put it down and moved on to other games. I just now picked it back up and am getting ready for Sunbreak this Summer. This game is so fun but you can get burned out on it if you do too much too quickly.
I wish I hadn’t started this on pC. There’s no going back to the Switch version after that.
@Lord
I thought I heard 20. Well if it is 40 dollars that is 2/3 of the base games price. This better be huge.
@Strumpan
Yeah I should have made that clearer. I meant in past updates.
Can we just get Yian Garuga already. Come on lets have traditional monsters to return plz! Also I need myself some Gore Magala and Yian Kut Ku(monster is a joke but why not) Maybe Congalala should return. Also is it just my web or is NL site just glitchy right now?
