In the new story, the hunters confront three powerful new beings known as the Three Lords:

Garangolm, the Fanged Wyvern Lunagaron, and the Elder Dragon Malzeno. Monster Hunter fans will have three options to purchase Sunbreak. The regular digital edition costs $40, while the $50 Deluxe Edition will include several bonus content such as new armor sets, gestures, and hairstyles. There is also a limited edition collector’s edition offering the same digital rewards as the deluxe edition, as well as physical loot including a sticker set, an enamel pin, a steel case, and a Malzeno Amiibo. However, none of these options include the base game Monster Hunter Rise.

All players who pre-order any version of the game will receive the Loyal Dog and Tabby armor sets for their companions Palamut and Palico. There will also be three new Malzeno-inspired Amiibo players for the Switch, who will also unlock special armor for the Malamute and Palico companions.
