Reviews for the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion suggest that the paid DLC dramatically builds upon Capcom's action RPG. The latest entry in the series leans into open-world mechanics by giving players an animal companion to ride and a seamless map to explore. Capcom announced the massive Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion back in 2021, with the DLC adding even more monsters to hunt and regions to explore.
As an add-on to the already massive Monster Hunter Rise, Sunbreak promises to introduce a plethora of new content for fans to enjoy.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's Malzeno will also introduce the unique Bloodblight status effect, which drains players' health but lets them heal by dealing damage.
