Today brought the latest Monster Hunter Digital Event, once again focused on the upcoming 'massive expansion' for Monster Hunter Rise - Sunbreak. It had some nitty gritty details that we've covered here, but also unveiled a rather handsome Pro Controller, pictured above.
You can see some nice shots of it from the stream and later tweet, below.
It features Malzeno, the flagship monster from the expansion, and also the small creatures it uses to attack and absorb the life force of other monsters and even hunters. It's a vampire theme, remember! It looks fantastic, which is fitting as the original Monster Hunter Rise Pro Controller remains one of the nicest-looking versions of the pad.
Will you be trying to pick one of these up? Let us know, as always, in the comments.

Dang it! I LOVE IT! And must have it! Yet to play the game, but love the Pro Controller designs.
Ooh, this one.. kinda sucks compared to every other pro controller sadly. I get the first MH one was gold, so they went with silver decals this time, but it just does not let anything pop on it sadly. It doesn't look too special ironically.
I will probably buy one to replace my failing Splatoon 2 controller. Looks real slick.
No doubt already on ebay for £480!
It's been far too long since the last official custom designed Pro controller was introduced. Happy to see another.
I ended up getting the gold decal one from Rise, but never bought the game. I might get this since my Smash Bros pro controller sticks now have joy con drift (I haven't even used the gold MH Rise controller yet). I enjoyed the MH Rise NSO Game Trial that I ended up pre-ordering the Sunbreak Collector's Edition with the amiibo thinking it came with the base game and a download code for Sunbreak only to find out later it doesn't. Feel like Capcom should have offered a version of the Sunbreak Collector's Edition for those of us like me who are just beginning their MH journey and need the base game but don't have it yet. Guess I'll have to cancel it.
Will be adding this to the collection for sure, it's so beautiful!
Hmm, that does look quite nice.
I always liked the Pro Controllers that added to the look instead of putting a thematically theming colour on there and this one is absolutely no exception. Smash Ultimate did the same thing when it came out and I think that's still one of the sleekest ones they've ever made. I have no interest in Monster Hunter yet, like the Xenoblade 2 one, I would consider picking this up if I ever see the need for a Pro.
That’s super nice looking but I already have enough controllers for my Switch. Wish this kind of stuff came out more regularly earlier.
I am looking for a new Pro Controller, since we're always fighting for a spare here at home. Looks like this could be a good candidate!
Why yes, I will have one of these. Thank you very much
Gorgeous is one way to put it. Me? I'd say it's ugly as hell.
I have the Xenoblade 2 pro controller and I think Nintendo's gonna do a pro controller for Xenoblade 3. So I'l have to pass on this one but it does look very pretty!
I like it but I don't bother getting it.
Just like with MH Amiibos people and stores are going to scalp it, so I rather do not pay 100 euro for the controller just because stores like money so much.
(they only do this with LE ones though)
No colorful grips? The Splatoon 2 and Zenoblade 2 controllers are much cooler in my view.
I'm sure all ten of them will end up on ebay before you can say "Magnamalo".
thats a gorgeous controller.
It's nice but a bit too basic for my tastes
That'll be a great match with the Magnamalo pro controller
I don't think that looks really cool.
Yea I might get this to go with my magnamalo pro controller
Why do all these special edition pro controllers look like mike Tyson face tattoos?
Doesn't look as good as the first MonHun Switch Pro controller. I find this one a bit of a muddle to the eye.
I was thinking recently that it's been ages since we got a new pro controller design.
My fav pro controller so far is still the Smash one. The gray and black just look so good together. Hopefully some controllers, official or 3rd party, release alongside TMNT: Shredders Revenge.
The Xenoblade 2 model is still the one to beat.
I missed out on the first MH controller, but I like this one more. I don’t know if I’ll pick it up though.
Either way, I have no interest in Rise or its comically overpriced expansion (which costs almost as much as the base game!).
Yeah, at an extra cost for a simple cosmetic change to the controller...
It's a shame they seem to be so allergic to colour these days with the pro controllers. I'm not a fan of Splatoon but I do love the pro controller for it. It's very well done.
I love Monster hunter, but the basic/subtle changes for it make it a no for me, same thing with the limited edition console they done for it. They would have had a buyer had it actually had some colour.
I'm waiting for something similar (maybe with pokemon?) to replace my Splatoon one as it's not in the best state, albeit considering it wasn't when I got it, it has lasted tremendously well.
