After launch, there will be many new challenges to complete, including a brand new challenge. G Rank (or Master Rank) will be available for players to experiment with and will feature stronger versions of familiar monsters. Some may even have new attacks that make encounters much more intense.

A wide variety of new features will also be added. Silkbind Attacks have also been added to each weapon style to offer new and unique ways to play the title. Players will also be able to use the Switch Skill Swap to switch between Red and Blue Skill Scrolls, and Swap Evade will also be available. It can only be performed after using the Skill Shift Swap, but allows players to move in any direction.

When it comes to motion tech, there's also the new Wirebug feature. The Wirebug is essentially a hook that players can use to move quickly through open areas or climb rocky terrain faster. Additionally, it can be used in combat to launch fierce attacks.

There's also Wyvern Riding, which lets players briefly command a monster to ride and even use it to attack other monsters. Obviously this promises to bring fresh, new strategies for fighting even the toughest monsters in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

Cable pulling will no longer be required to run on the wall, which is a huge improvement. Now, players will only need to run towards a wall, jump or dodge through the air to start wall running.

Also, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will include the new area Elgado. This is the new HQ that players will call home.

Players will also have some powerful new monsters to try and destroy, all promising exciting encounters. There's also the mighty beast, the terrifying Malzeno, who is the focus of the story
