Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is a massive DLC expansion to Monster Hunter Rise, released in 2022 on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. We reviewed Sunbreak last year and it was one of the best PC titles of 2022 for the sheer lengths it went to through to improve upon its predecessor. It brought to the table new combat gameplay mechanics, a ton of new monsters to hunt, welcome quality-of-life improvements, and balance changes that made every weapon more fun to use.
