It was full of excellent detail and footage, with the key information being that it&#8217;ll launch on <strong>30th June<\/strong> on Switch, with pre-orders on the eShop due to go live today. [Update: pre-orders are now live, priced at \u00a335.99 \/ $39.99]<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast itself was just short of 20 minutes and is well worth a watch. Below is a summary of some key details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Released on 30th June, pre-orders live today.<\/li>\n<li>Key features include new story, base, locales, monsters, and the &#8216;Master Rank&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Citadel&#8217; is a new environment with varied locales.<\/li>\n<li>We had a good look at the &#8216;Elgado&#8217; outpost, a sizable hub with an all-new cast of characters.<\/li>\n<li>Three &#8216;Lords&#8217; are big targets. Garangolm, a mighty fanged beast with heavy attacks. Lunagaron, a fanged wyvern that can cover its body in ice. Finally Elder Dragon Malzeno, the main monster of the expansion.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;ll be new wire bug moves and lots of additions to freshen up gameplay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Capcom confirmed a few things regarding accessing the content. First is that it&#8217;ll require a 13GB update on 30th June, whether you purchase Sunbreak or not (mandatory for online play). There&#8217;ll also be a bundle with the base game and expansion together on sale, for those coming to Rise fresh. And yes, there&#8217;ll be a <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterhunter.com\/rise-sunbreak\/en-uk\/product-switch\/\">physical edition<\/a> that includes the expansion.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder you&#8217;ll need to have cleared 7* quest &#8216;Serpent: Goddess of Thunder&#8217; to trigger the expansion; this was the &#8216;real ending&#8217; that arrived as a post-launch update. If you haven&#8217;t got there yet, there&#8217;s still time!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture ptris\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNDIyIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"422\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6326fba946c7a\/mh-sunbreak-amiibo.900x.jpg\" alt=\"MH Sunbreak Amiibo.PNG\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Capcom<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally three amiibo were announced, above, which will redeem special armor sets and can be scanned for daily &#8216;lottery&#8217; plays.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"xUgF3j1xc4M\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Those were the key details; are you excited about Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak this Summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content]Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Update [6th May at 13:30BST]: Capcom has published an updated customer information page (Japanese), reiterating the information from the March event that you&#8217;ll need to download and install a 13GB update on 30th June in order to access online play in Monster Hunter Rise.
