Monster Hunter Riseis introducing a plethora of changes in Title Update 3 that has its players excited, and the patch notes have recently been revealed. Originally released on the Nintendo Switch in March 2021,Monster Hunter Riseeasily matched the popularity that the franchise earned throughMonster Hunter World, releasing a PC version in January 2022, and becoming one ofCapcom’s best-selling titles.
In June 2022, Capcom built onMonster Hunter Rise’s foundation even further byreleasingMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, its first expansion pack that added a new difficulty mode through Master Rank quests, as well as greatly expanded the game’s bestiary, introduced players to follower quests, and continued the story established in the base campaign. Followers inMonster Hunter Riseare one of the features that Title Update 3 focuses on, though the patch notes also reveal the return of a fan-favorite monster – the Chaotic Gore Magala.

Title Update 3 lets players customize the Wyvern Riding and item use behavior of their Followers, as well as allowing them to accompany the player on a greater variety of quests.
Another key aspect ofTitle Update 3 forMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakis raising the level cap on Anomaly Research Levels and Anomaly Investigations, as well as introducing a wider variety of monsters to the quests such as the Seething Bazelgeuse, Flaming Espina, and Scorned Magnamalo.
