Interestingly, the news aboutMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakadding new Silkbind Attacks broke through the game’s official Japanese Twitter account. No details were shared by the team in the simple post, just that players should look forward to the new moves that will be added in the expansion. Given that Silkbind Attacks change depending on eachMonster Hunter Riseweaponused by a player, it is possible that the expansion will provide several new techniques per weapon. This will likely be very helpful to hunters, especially since they will be facing the new Elder Dragon Malzeno once the DLC is released.
