You may have been watching Capcom's Monster Hunter Showcase from Tokyo Game Show with us earlier, but if you weren't there are certainly a few Monster Hunter Rise updates that you need to know about.
First up is a fun collaboration with Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, which arrives on 29th October. It'll have an event quest in which you can earn the Arthur-inspired layered armour, and it'll even feature music from the tough platformer for good measure.
Another delightfully wacky tie-in that was announced, in this case a throwback to what we saw in the 3DS entries, is with Sonic The Hedgehog; that collab arrives in November.
We also got a brief look at the 'massive expansion' for Rise that's due next Summer - Sunbreak. It was confirmed that you'll need to have cleared the 7 star quests (the main story, in other words) in Rise to access the DLC, with your hunter leaving the village to discover multiple bases and locales in the new land. Capcom also unveiled the enormous and deadly crab-like monster Shogun Ceanataur, making a comeback from the old days of the series as part of the Sunbreak add-on.
If you missed the showcase earlier you can catch up below; it's worth a watch for the musical segment in the middle, in particular.
Let us know what you think of the upcoming 'collabs', and whether you're excited about the upcoming Sunbreak expansion.

Sun-breaking my heart that I have to wait until next summer for it
Tails colours for Palamute or we riot
Glad they went for something historically accurate with that giant enemy crab

As a fan of both Ghosts n' Goblins and Monster Hunter, i'm embarrassed that I didn't see this coming. So painfully obvious...
Its like the third maximo game we never got. Loved those games.
I will hunt down that hedgehog.
I hope we get a few more monsters and legit goodies before having to wait until next summer. Minus a few super tedious things on the Guild Card, I’ve done more than plenty on the base game. I have tons of high rank armor sets and weapons that I don’t even use or want to power up.
The fact that Regina, from Dino Crisis, has yet to appear as a skin in a Monster Hunter game is proof that Capcom genuinely hates us all.
Killing me by not showing the sonic one. I better be able to hunt has knight sonic.
I really wanna get back on to rise. Think im only level 40 odd. Not even fought all the newer monsters yet.
@Snatcher Sonic with Excalibur and the gold armor would be hype
OK, maybe I should get Monster Hunter Rise now. Anything Sonic-related interests me, and I've heard good things about this game in general.
Great direct!
@Kirbo100 IKR?
I don't miss voice chat that much, even though it's a stupid thing to take away when it worked in MH3U on the Wii U. Now I fear that will be a reason to not have cross play between Switch and Steam.
@Kidfunkadelic83 You can always post on the Rise forum when you're on! I'd enjoy hunting with NintendoLifers again, it's been a while for me.
So glad I got this game, it just keeps on giving and well worth every penny even if some future DLC may have to be paid for... keep it going Capcom!!
Wish we could get Final Fantasy collab with MHR but this isn't bad
Glad I collected almost every weapon set except for the guns and made armor sets every one, except gun. Just hunting the new events and waiting for Sunbreak while I try to lower my backlog since the DS era
Oh wow, Really Sonic likes be a great guest in many games!!, How many games is he?
I wish they would bring back all them crossovers they did in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, that game has a lot of cool Nintendo stuff!
What they should of done is a GnG world, where the monsters were those from the actual game.
