A Message From Director Suzuki – A Thank You!
Hey Hunters,
We hope you’re having a great week and have been having fun meeting Primordial Malzeno in the Bonus Update!
We’re back today with a special message from Sunbreak’s Director Suzuki, please check it out below:
This is my last regular update. I want to express my sincere gratitude for all of you that are playing MHRise: Sunbreak, as well as for following my updates.
Thank you for your continued support of the Monster Hunter series, until now and beyond!
- Suzuki, Sunbreak Director
There it is, the last regular update from Director Suzuki for Sunbreak. We hope you’ve enjoyed the little hints, teases and info drops from the Director and thank you for checking them out.
But fear not, the Bonus Update is live and we’ve still got some Event Quests on the way until the end of July! We hear there’s some rather cool layered armour to be had from some of them too, let’s have a look at a couple of these rewards below…
Make sure to visit the Courier this week to pick up the "Adorned Arena" Event Quest!
Epic gains coming soon to an Event Quest near you!
The final monster "Primordial Malzeno" is here. Make sure to get your gear in order!
Primordial Malzeno
Malzeno's original form before it was tainted by the Qurio. Ordinarily, it uses its wings and tail with the elegance of a knight, but under the Qurio's influence, it uses underhanded means of cornering its prey, and in its "Bloodlust" state it wields tremendous power. Because of the explosive energy corrupting its body, it sometimes shows behavior as if its struggling against an overwhelming force.

That wraps up today’s post! Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
Elder dragons that can manipulate the weather and are able to conjure up unrelenting gales. Amatsu glide through the air on currents they create using their wing membrane, making it look as if they're dancing in the sky. The storms they summon are extremely destructive and can lay entire cities to waste, thus they are known as the "Looming Calamity." When enraged, their storms become even more violent, enveloping the area with unrelenting lighting strikes.
Risen Shagaru Magala
Risen Shagaru Magala are elder dragons that have found a way to overcome their affliction. By suppressing the Qurio virus, they have gained great strength and new abilities. They release larger quantities of the Frenzy virus, resulting in viral explosions with increased radius. Anything that gets in their way will fall prey to their powerful wingarms.
Anomaly Research Quests
New monsters, including Risen Shagaru Magala! Anomaly Investigations now go up to Lv. 300!
Special Investigations
A new quest type for experienced hunters!
Event Quests
