At the end of last month, Capcom released Monster Hunter RIse: Sunbreak - the first DLC for the latest entry in the monster hunting series.

Now that hunters have had time to sink their teeth into the latest adventure, the focus moves on to the first free title update. This will add Lucent Nargacuga and several other monsters - including rare species, special species, and even a new locale: Forlorn Arena.

Now, in a new update via social media, Capcom has shared a "sneak peek" at Qurious Crafting - allowing for armor upgrades. These upgrades will make use of the new materials coming in this next title update.

@monsterhunter "For the first Title Update, we're adding new content regarding Anomaly Research. In relation to that, here's a sneak peek at Qurious Crafting, which allows for armor upgrades. The upgrades utilize new materials that will be added with the update. Please look forward to more news! - Suzuki, #Sunbreak Director"
