While Rise came to PC months after its debut on Nintendo Switch, Sunbreak will be out for all of us at the same time. June 30th is the magic day. Capcom had previously spoken broadly of a summer launch, so it’s nice to know it’ll be coming only nine days into summer.
Sunbreak will head off to the land of Elgado, where oh no wildlife is causing trouble again. Once again, we’ll be killing dogs to skin them to make stronger weapons and armour with which to kill tougher dogs to skin to make stronger weapons and armour with which to kill tougher dogs to skin to make stronger weapons and armour with which to kill tougher dogs to skin to make stronger weapons and armour with which to kill tougher dogs to skin to make stronger weapons and armour with which to kill a really big dragon.
Rise players will need to have completed the Hub 7★ Quest: Serpent Goddess Of Thunder to jump right into Sunbreak. To help everyone reach that point, Capcom recentlystarted handing out powerful weapons and armourto hasten newcomers to the end.
The stream also noted thata 13GB patchwill launch alongside Sunbreak for all Rise players. It’ll bring weapon balance changes for the base game too, as well as offering access to free item packs and character edit vouchers.
