Want a list of all of the new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak monsters? The much-anticipated expansion to the popular RPG game is finally here, and we’re off to the land of Elgado to fight a bunch more beasts, creepy crawlies, and even a giant crab.
As you progress through the new Master Ranks, you may notice a lot of rematches against old adversaries from the base game. All of them are deceptively dangerous, thanks to their additional power and brand new attacks, but what you’re likely wondering is just how many new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak monsters and variants there are in the expansion.
All Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak monsters
Currently, there are 11 new Monster Hunter Rise monsters and six new variants. Most are locked behind urgent quests that you need to complete to progress through the Master Ranks, and when defeated, they unlock new encounters. A handful of others are exclusively available during the endgame when you reach higher ranks. You’ll need to grind encounters with every monster to reach the highest Master Rank and fight against the most challenging beasts in the game.
