Capcom’s monstrously bigMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakis receiving its fourth free title update on February 7th. Sunbreak’s latest update adds new Event Quests, Anomaly Research content, paid DLC, and two new Elder Dragons to hunt. I don’t think any of these additions are as exciting as the giantSweetcorn weaponintroduced last year, but I digress.

The most exciting parts of the new update are, of course, the new Elder Dragons. Velkhana is a returning foe fromMonster Hunter World’s Iceborne expansion, and we got a hefty look at lord of the tundra in a new trailer (embedded above). Velkhana still deals icy attacks to freeze you in place, so wear something warm. Velkhana can be challenged from Master Rank 10 onwards.

The update’s other big boss is the Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax who can be challenged starting at Master Rank 160 and above. Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax is an ultra-fierce variant of the dragon, similar to other Risen dragons we’ve seen in the game before.

Capcom have promised another free title update in April. Until then, you’re free to hunt the new Risen Dragons in Hunting Guide cosplay on February 7th, when the fourth title update arrives on PC and consoles.Monster Hunter Riseand its Sunbreak expansion are available onSteamfor a combined sum of £58/€70/$70. The base game is also available on Game Pass.
