Capcom released two short videos Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakeach allowing you to learn about a specific weapon.

The first one, posted below, has a look at the hammer. It features shock bursts, shock craters, a toggle skill swap action common to all weapons, Silkbind Bludgeon’s spin and charge attacks.


The Great Sword is the subject of the second trailer. This greatsword uses a silk-bound attack stance, and like other weapons, you can use the skill switch to switch to hunting blade, slash combined charge and charge, then furious slash and true charge slash.


You can check out other weapon demo videos for Insect Glaive, Heavy Bowgun, Sword and Shield, and Switch Axe on the Monster Hunter YouTube channel.

Using the Switch Skill Swap feature, you can switch skills to two different gears, which can be changed on the fly during the hunt. If you find yourself under attack while performing a switch skill swap, you can perform a swap evasion in any direction to avoid danger, or reposition for a sustained attack.

Sunbreak will release on Steam and Switch on June 30.
