It was also confirmed that the Sunbreak DLC will offer the increased difficulty G Rank or Master Rank. Keep your blades sharp because we're in for a good fight!
To play Sunbreak you should have hunted Narwa in the ★7 Hub Quest: Serpent Goddess of Thunder.
The monsters that can be hunted in the Master Rank will move differently compared to Low/High Rank monsters.
With Master Rank comes all-new Silkbind Attacks and Switch Skills for all 14 weapons. There's also a new feature called Switch Skill Swap in which you can swap your Switch Skill loadouts with each other mid-combat, allowing for more flexibility in your fights!
New Silkbind Attacks and Switch Skills
Of course, new moves will mean some changes to our tier list. While we haven't adjusted our tier list page yet (we're saving it for release!), we talk about the changes in a separate article. We also make some balance predictions according to how we ranked them.
Weapon Changes and Balance Predictions
Sunbreak is promising not just one new locale, but two! Its first Free Title Update will also include another Arena map. We can't wait to explore and find all the secrets!
 The Jungle |
 Forlorn Arena |
 The Citadel |
 Elgado Outpost |
There are tons of new Endemic Life in Sunbreak. We're looking forward to hunting for the Rare Endemic Life in the Jungle and the Citadel!
 Starburst Bug |
 Thornytoad |
 Morphed Wirebugs |
 Marionette Spider |
 Spearsquid |
 Slicercrab |
In a new type of quest, Follower Collab Quests allow you to go on hunts with NPCs such as Fiorayne, Jae, Luchika, Admiral Galleus, and Master Arlow. Characters from Kamura Village like Hinoa and Minoto will also be available as Followers. You will also earn special rewards from these quests!

These characters are part of the research team that resides in the Elgado Outpost, working together to find out what's going on with Malzeno and the other monsters in the Kingdom.

Of course, the Tea Shop will be travelling with us to Elgado. You can choose to activate the new feature called Hopping Skewers, which will alter the effect of the dangos by changing the level and activation rate.
From their tweet, it seems like it will greatly enhance, moderately enhance, and downgrade one dango each in terms of level, and do the opposite when it comes to activation chance. Be careful which one you choose, and get those Dango Tickets ready to compensate!
Although not officially announced, the Palico in the Sunbreak Demo is able to use two new Palico Moves, Lottery Box and Kittenator. The Lottery Box allows your buddy to use a random Palico Move that it wouldn't otherwise be able to, including the powerful Kittenator, which may be exclusive to Lottery Box as a kind of Ultimate Attack.

With the new Palamute command, Sniff 'em out!, they're making our Palamute more useful for farming items on the map! You're able to pick and choose which item you want to track down and your Palamute will go look for it. It remains to be seen whether this means your Palamute will automatically go to the nearest one or if it just appears on the map as an icon.
The Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak release date is on June 30, 2022, on both the Switch and PC as paid DLC. This information was released during the Digital Event on March 15, 2022.
