Sunbreak is a challenging expansion that will put the skills of veteran hunters to the test, though it relies a little too much on revamped monsters from the base game, rather than brand new content of its own.
The story of Sunbreak begins at the end of Monster Hunter Rise, with the player character having risen from novice hunter to the hero of Kamura Village, who stopped the Rampage and slew the mighty Thunder Serpent Narwa. Sunbreak kicks off with a standard hunting mission, ending with the arrival of Lunagaron: a powerful wolf-like monster that is a member of the mythical «Three Lords».
