Kamura Hunter’s Hub #12 – Sunbreak Reveals from the Capcom Showcase!
Hey Hunters,
Welcome to Kamura Hunter’s Hub #12!
This week we’ve got some very exciting Sunbreak news and reveals, courtesy of the recent Capcom Showcase event. So for those of you looking to keep as spoiler free as possible ahead of launch next week, this is your SPOILER WARNING!
Now, let’s take a look at some of the fearsome monsters that await you on June 30th…
A New Frontier!
Ready Hunters? Prepare to venture into a lush locale, the Jungle, as your quest to save the Kingdom brings you face to face with dangerous new monsters…
Welcome to the Jungle!
The Jungle, a paradise for the wide range of monsters and plant life that inhabit it. Prepare to explore and hunt your way through lush, tree-laden greenery, sweeping beaches that lead to relaxing waterside areas.
As you delve deeper into the Jungle and its secrets, you’ll find yourself in expansive subterranean caverns and what lurks within them…
If you’re keen to explore the Jungle ahead of launch, make sure to check out the Sunbreak demo that’s available to play for free right now!
New Monsters!
Along with a new locale, 5 new monsters were also revealed!
Espinas
This will be the first time many of you will go face to face with this returning monster from Monster Hunter Frontier!
Espinas is a flying wyvern known for the red spikes that cover their tough green hide, which double up as both an offensive and defensive tool.
Due to their stalwart defence they’re using found relaxing in their territory, however upon sensing danger they expand their blood vessels, turning their hide and wing membranes a bright red before running riot with full brutality.
Be warned! Do your best to avoid being hit by Espinas’s venomous fireballs, yes, you read that correctly.
Gore Magala
The Black Eclipse wyvern, Gore Magala, returns in Sunbreak!
It may lack visual receptors but makes up for it with heightened senses that are attuned to the scales it scatters from its wings. Once a lifeform is detected Gore Magala will lash out without remorse.
At the peak of their senses, purple feelers will extend from their head, their wings will unfurl and they’ll become frenzied, unleashing devastating attacks that can rupture the very ground.
Will you overcome the frenzy?
Daiymo Hermitaur
Can you overcome the massive claws of Daiymo Hermitaur? Equally powerful when used for attacking or defensive purposes, you’ll need to fight strategically to find a safe opening against this large Carapaceon!
Be wary of the wyvern skulls they wear as shells on their backs too. These not only provide a high level of protection for Daiymo Hermitaurs, but can also be used for attacking their prey…
Pyre Rakna-Kadaki
A subspecies of Rakna-Kadaki, Pyre Rakna-Kataki is an explosive fight, blasting Hunters with the volatile material that fills their bodies. Covered in a explosion-resistant webbing, they can strike together their forelimbs like flints to induce explosions – so watch out for surprise area of effect attacks!
They also have an advanced chain of command over their offspring, allowing them to expand the reach of their explosions with ease.
Lucent Nargacuga
We bet you didn’t see this one coming!
Lucent Nargacuga will leap into Sunbreak as part of Title Update 1 after launch. Elgado Outpost’s researchers are still investigating this rare species of Flying Wyvern, but initial findings suggest that this monster is incredibly effective at camouflaging itself…
That wraps up our quick overview of the latest Sunbreak monsters to be revealed! There’s even more to discover as part of the trailer, but we’ll let you discover those!
The Hunt Continues June 30th!
Elgado Outpost awaits you when Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak launches on June 30th!
Prepare to take on the Three Lords and everything this mysteriously land has to offer by pre-purchasing here:
Note: Layered armour is a "skin" which changes the appearance of the character without affecting their stats and abilities.
Quest Complete – We’ll see you next time!
That wraps up this week’s community post! Thanks as always for taking the time to check it out!
We’re so close to launch now, with less than a week to go! The team are so excited for you to discover a new land full of monsters as you arrive at Elgado Outpost from the 30th.
