Capcom‘s Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak has reached another milestone in its roadmap with the release of update 15. Promised for an April 20 release, the new patch adds a brand new Monster to the game. Additionally, the level cap for armor has been raised, giving players more incentive to return to the grind. With the launch of update 15, players only have the ‘bonus’ update in June to look forward. While that promises a new Variant Monster, here’s what update 15 entails.
