Capcom held a new digital event for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, during which it provided details on the first title update for the expansion. The update is available for free on PC and Nintendo Switch today.

The new monsters are each joined by a relevant new armour set, and require players reach Master Rank 10 before they can be unlocked.

The new end game content is built around Anomaly Quests, where players battle monsters affected by the Qurio creaturesin Sunbreak’s story. The update adds new A5 rank quests featuring newly afflicted monsters such as Lunagaron and Mizutsune. Some of these quests are unlocked by participating in Anomaly Investigations.

Finally, Bahari’s Research Lab allows players to exchange items obtained from Anomaly Investigations.
