The DualSense’s adaptive triggers on PS5 will be supported when using ranged and shielded weapons.
The expansion Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is also coming to all the platforms mentioned above in spring 2023.
The game was originally released on March 26, 2021, for Nintendo Switch, followed by a PC port on Jan 12, 2022. Its expansion Sunbreak was released in June 2022. The original game has shipped 11 million units, while the expansion passed 4 million units. It’ll certainly be interesting to see what number the games will manage to achieve when it reaches a much wider audience on all platforms.
It’s set in the village of Kamura and it features a mix of traditional gameplay with the iconic 14 weapons and crafting-based progression, and new mechanics like the Wirebug grappling hook and Wyvern Riding.
