It is certainly a great time to be a Monster Hunter fan, as new announcements and monster reveals are all over the internet. The recent Capcom Showcase announced a demo for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak for the Nintendo Switch and Windows. This news arrived alongside the very unexpected reveal of one of the most requested and fan-favorite monsters returning to the franchise, Gore Magala.

Capcom has already revealed an extensive list of new monsters that were coming to Sunbreak, with some being returning subspecies from the base game, others returning from old Monster Hunter titles, as well as a brand new trio of monsters exclusive to Monster Hunter Rise.

With the Capcom Showcase event, players were only expecting new information regarding general gameplay and the new Citadel map in Sunbreak. Instead, Capcom decided to surprise fans with the reveal of several monster additons to the expansion.

The new monsters that were revealed at the Capcom Showcase were returning monsters from previous Monster Hunter titles like Espinas, Daimyo Hermitaur, and Gore Magala. The event also gave a first look at another new monster called Pyre Rakna-Kadaki coming to the franchise with Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

While all of the brand new monsters coming to the expansion are fascinating and have clearly increased intrigue for players regarding Sunbreak, Gore Magala's return is what excites them the most.

Gore Magala first appeared in Monster Hunter 4 and was essentially the 'flagship monster' of MH4, similar to what Malzeno is to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. However, Gore Magala later lost that position to Seregios in MH4 Ultimate, but remained an intergral part of the game's narrative and also one of the most feared monsters in the game.
