While Monster Hunter Rise is getting regular updates, it's been a minute since we've heard much about progress on the upcoming expansion, Sunbreak. However, that all changed this morning with a brief little Tweet from the official Monster Hunter account by the expansion's director, Yoshitake Suzuki.
The Tweet doesn't give too much away, with just a small update on the progress of the DLC. But, as with anything on Twitter, it's set fan's tongues wagging:
We already know the identities of a few of the monsters, which include one returning giant crab-like creature in the Shogun Ceanataur, and two brand-new monsters: Lunagaron, a Fanged Wyvern that looks like a cross between a canine and a lizard, and the Elder Dragon (and poster boy for Sunbreak) Malzeno. We can't wait to see what they look like in-game, and just how we'll get to hunt them down for all of their loot over and over again.
But the doodle attached to Suzuki's Tweet seems to be hinting at something new.
This is just fan speculation for now, but the drawing, which looks a bit like a red-faced Tengu, is almost identical to a teaser posted in the run-up to the base game's release.
This teaser was eventually revealed to be Bishaten, an acrobatic Fanged Beast, so the red drawing could be hinting at a new coloured subspecies of the lemur-like Tengu beast. Or this could be an Apex version of them! We'll know soon enough as we approach the launch of Sunbreak this summer!
What do you think about the teaser? Are there any monsters you want to see return in Sunbreak? Let us know down below!

my god... I have the game since its launch but barelly touched.. and I loved the game.. perhaps im just waiting this DLC "to start".. right now i'm in the beggning of legends arceus (second star rank I think) hehe!
@rex_rex There's been quite a bit of content for Rise since the game launched, new monsters, event quests & collabs. Highly recommend jumping back on at some point, it's super fun! Hope you enjoy Legends 😍
ironically this tweet came around the same day. The first one in the article btw, came around the same day Capcom announced next gen versions of RE7, RE2R, and RE3R for PS5 and XSX/S.
@DreamlandGem tks a lot for your message!! yes, i've been following "by far" and what I played of rise, I loved!! but it seems that just beat the game seems easy.. it looks like the multplayer is the must, isn't?
It makes sense some of the new Rise monster will be getting sub species.
Was the same in World and some older games too.
I really need to finish up on the main game before plunging into the DLC... Only a couple of hundred hours left
hoping savage devijho returns along with others as well.
@RiasGremory I also hope to see the return of angry pickle!
Fortunately for me, the launch of the base game coincided with a two week vacation, so I actually completed all the content in the game during that timeframe.
I'm ready for moar monsters.
I'm hoping G-rank fixes Rise's error. It introduced a bunch of new monsters early on, only to be forgotten since they lacked any endgame relevance or competitive gear stats.
The wait for this DLC is painful. But it'll all be worth it in the end hopefully.
please Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak bring back old monsters such as Seltas Queen, Tetsucabra and Zamtrios.
@Giancarlothomaz Got my fingers crossed for the return of Gore Magala 🤞
@Diogmites Sure why not! I'd love to see Malfestio too 🦉
With concept art like that, this might be my GOTY!
Subspecies confirmed then, I was worried they were going to be left out because of the Apex thing....
Can't wait for this.
Come on with it!
I'm totally down for variants as long as it's not World and 50 shades of Rathian/Rathalos.
I want Sand Barioth back, one of my favorites from 3U, especially in G-Rank where it spawns up to two small dust devils that roam the area for a while during the fight. lol
Also bring back Glacial Agnaktor, we know the original is returning since Uroktor is in the game. (I swear if they leave out Agnaktor and Zamtrios again in Sunbreak I'm going to punch someone, lol)
If we're just asking for monsters, I wanna see Lao Shan Lung and Shen Gaoren again
@rex_rex tbh you're missing a lot if you think Narwa Allmother is "the final content", early Master Rank will absolutely destroy you, I mean if you already played the latest Apex Emergency like the Zinogre or Advanced Valstrax, then you know what to expect lol. I really suggest you to grind lots of materials and really good talismans and I assume this is your first MH, might as well master the weapon you main at, it helps a lot.
@TheRealIronix tks buddy! indeed, it's my first MH. what is destroying me is my backlog! lol! I have at least 3 untouched HUGE games to start.. rise, age of calamity and SMTV.. not to mention all the indies / eshop games I have..
but again, tks for the tips buddy! im eager to start properly MH!
