Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak complete 2022 Roadmap - DLC, Schedule, Free Title Updates, and more

The Capcom showcase had a lot in store for Monster Hunter Rise players. Not only did the publishers announce a demo version of the Sunbreak expansion before the official launch, but they also revealed their content roadmap for 2022 and beyond.

The Sunbreak expansion will be the biggest hit for the title, and it will go live on June 30, 2022, for both the Nintendo Switch and PC. The demo will go live later today, on June 14, 2022, and players will be able to fight both Astalos and Elder Dragon Malzeno in the limited version.

When it comes to the roadmap, Capcom does seem to have a lot in store for players as Monster hunter Rise enters its next stage and introduces Master Rank to the game.

While the developers have not exactly gone over the details of some of the things that they will be adding to the game in 2022 and beyond, they have mentioned a few highlights that players can expect to drop in the game.

With all the additions, this year is looking rather exciting for Monster Hunter fans.
