In today’s Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Digital Event, it was announced that Free Title Update 5 will arrive on April 20th, 2023, for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

The April Digital Event can be accessed on the official Monster Hunter™ YouTube channel, where a new trailer and additional assets for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak are also available.
Amatsu, an Elder Dragon with control over weather, is known for summoning storms and lightning strikes powerful enough to erase a city. Risen Shagaru Magala has used its immense power to dominate the Qurio, becoming even more formidable. Amatsu is accessible from MR10, while Risen Shagaru Magala is unlocked at MR180. Defeating these fearsome foes rewards players with materials to craft new gear with unique skills.
Hunters can now engage with two additional Risen Elder Dragons in Anomaly Research Quests and face more challenges with the increased Anomaly Investigation level cap of 300.
