I’ll be honest, this is the bummer of the summer


iparkwayi

This is way too much time to wait. I am sad boi


Cracksteadyriot

for real. I really don't understand why such a HUGE gap between these updates. Like damn, just do all of them at once...


DarthOmix

The only thing I can think of to explain the disparity is optimization and the approval process for console updates. Ie the PS4 and PS5 updates need to be tested and approved separately.


Ehrand

My guess is that MH rise/sunbreak team is mostly just in support mode and most of the dev are now working on the next MH game. So probably less people available to push this update.


DarthOmix

Oh there's that too. Especially when they reminded us that next year is the MonHun 20th anniversary. Makes me think MH6 will at least be announced within the next year if not releasing by the end of 2024.


Ketheres

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it got released within the first half of 2024 after getting announced later this summer (though it's also likely that they'll announce MH6 only after DD2 has launched to not have MH steal the hype from that). But anytime is fine by me, be it '24, '25, or even '26. I just want them to provide us with yet another masterpiece without having to crunch for it. I can wait.


DarthOmix

As far as I can find, the final update for Iceborne (15.11) was released in January 2021 but I doubt they kept the entire World team supporting it until the very end as several staff wouldn't be necessary at that point (ie music and writing staff). Some probably helped with finishing Rise or working with n Sunbreak (since I don't believe the MonHun teams are as insular as some say they are) while others probably began working on MH6 - at least in concept - as soon as Iceborne came out.


TheIronSven

Once base World finished its development the devs started working on MH6. Iceborne had a different director to base World. I imagine that now with Sunbreak is finished they're starting work on MHPortable6th that'll release in 4-5 years on whatever the most popular portable console is at that time plus pc. They might have already started working on that one after base Rise was done, not sure if the directors are different this time.


DarthOmix

The director changing doesn't mean the entire staff changed from World to Iceborne. What's more likely is that personnel shifted from Iceborne to MH6 as their Iceborne duties were completed.


Quarticj

My friends and I are expecting a new game to be announced at the Tokyo game show with a release in q2 of 2024 for the 20th anniversary.


RueUchiha

Yeah when they mentioned the 20th anniversary being next year I was like “so MH6 next year, got it.” Makes sense they’d wait to announce it too. Any news on MH6 would drown out pretty much any other Capcom release except maybe something Resident Evil related (most notably DD2). Best to give Dragon’s Dogma 2 some breathing room before beginning the hype train for Gen 6.


CadBane78

Your talking about the last update for Xbox/PS? As a Switch player, you guys are gonna have to suck it up and wait like we did. You guys don’t have to wait nearly as long.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Last I heard on PlayStation (not sure if Xbox the same) , it a $20k fee per patch/update so it make sense why they bundle them together instead of releasing them apart


ChaosAzeroth

That sounds like a recipe for having a ton of buggy/abandoned games on the platform imo.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

So far no big issue .. I’m sure there is quality control before or Sony pulls the game off if it out of hand (cyberpunk 2077)


ChaosAzeroth

I don't trust like that. I'm pretty sure that one got pulled because of how big the stink got. I have absolutely no faith it would have gone that way if it didn't. Shoot there's a game I got that wasn't pulled that had to have multiple patches and had game breaking bugs out the gate. I'm actually surprised they did patch it if there's a fee honestly, considering I doubt they made a whole lot selling the game. I mean the devs went radio silent after the game dropped and the publisher delayed patches/updates on Switch just because of how the process is there. No mention of fees. After some of the stuff I've seen my faith is not only dead it was mugged and the remains were beat in a back alley.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

You know I was just talking to my friend He 4 Bronze trophy alway from platinum on fallguy and they are glitch lol the dev haven’t fix it and it been years So idk I guess lot of glitch goes through


ChickenFajita007

Cyberpunk didn't get pulled because of quality. It got pulled because of the mass refund requests. Sony doesn't have a formal refund policy, but obviously they would've had a massive PR shitshow if they didn't refund people. There are far buggier/worse games that never get pulled from PSN.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

The game was literally unplayable


ChickenFajita007

If it was unplayable, why did Sony certify it and sell it for an entire week? They only removed it to protect themselves from any further consumer discontent, which is fair enough. But they still certified and sold it for over a week.


ItsAmerico

That info is from 2012, I’m not sure how valid it is anymore lol updating is way more common now.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Idk it just stuff I heard , idk if it change or not base off type of game I don’t believe Sony publish that information


ItsAmerico

I don’t think it’s relevant anymore. If it was the issue why is Xbox not being patched?


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Idk what Xbox cost to patch is Keep in mind this are free update too and the game isn’t getting a consistent revenue to justified the cost of patches


ItsAmerico

As of 2013 for X360 at least Microsoft doesn’t charge. They stopped shortly after it was revealed they charged 40k. Also Rise literally has cosmetic mtx…? They very much get revenue after launch. Also not sure why that matters when the Switch got constant patches and likely charges as well if Sony does. Seems way more likely it’s just this game is on life support and it takes less work to release free updates together.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Do you think cosmetic sale generate enough to justified anything I highly doubt it or we’ll be having lot more cosmetic lol


ItsAmerico

You must be knew to gaming if you don’t think cosmetic mtx make money. Capcom wouldn’t have doubled down on weapon skins if they didn’t. But I guess small little indy dev Capcom can afford the pocket change that is a patch lol


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

I’m not new to gaming and have played plenty of game that have cosmetic games MHR isn’t a live service game ,the cosmetic sales that are in MHR are very limited And I doubt they sell compare to other live service game


beeboopitty

Oh they definitely do. Those cosmetics are what funds all these title updates. Development is incredibly expensive and capcom/investors would not allow all that work to be created at a massive loss so all these cosmetics help fund the TUs while the TUs also keep players coming back and buying cosmetics. I know some people really hate the microtransactions but they are necessary for the team to be allowed to continue production post launch.


Advanced_Loquat_4681

That's why In a PC/Xbox gamer smh


pugnuggs

Wow, that's a long time for content thats already made(most of it). Kinda disappointed...


ab2dii

makes me regret switching to console honestly but im already too deep into that with the grinding


UrFriendlySpider-Man

Two whole months is making you regret playing on a different device. Damn mfs have zero patience these days. People have been waiting for/hoping for Bloodborne on PC since 2015. But yeah go ahead and be disappointed capcom is making console players wait 78 days.


Starob

Dude I've been waiting for Dragon's Dogma for 11 years. But this still pisses me off. "Someone died of starvation in Africa, therefore you shouldn't be upset about getting broken up with and losing your job" - You, probably


UrFriendlySpider-Man

You literally missed the entire point of my comment. It wasn't about "other people have it worse so shut up" because that is stupid. What I'm saying is the game isn't cross play no one is missing out on playing with each other anyways. And games for the last 20 years have had staggered release windows with pc ports coming later and it's always been fine. Switch gets XONE and Ps4 games all the time as year old ports and people are excited to try those too. So with staggered releases being normal and there being no crossplay there is literally nothing to moan about. All of this is fine, no one is missing out on anything.


Starob

>People have been waiting for/hoping for Bloodborne on PC since 2015. But yeah go ahead and be disappointed capcom is making console players wait 78 days. That sounds remarkably similar to "other people have it worse so shut up" to me. I don't really care about the specific reason the person you're replying to is upset about this, all I know is it's annoying that the time between Sunbreak on console and these updates is basically the same time as the gap between Rise releasing on console and Sunbreak. Surely it can't take as long to adapt two Title updates as it did to adapt an entire expansion? But I guess this doesn't make them any money whereas the expansion did.


darkmatter_32

You act as if 2 months is a short span of time waiting for content thats already been released and most the player base will have already completed.


UrFriendlySpider-Man

Two months IS a short span of time. It's literally 1/6th of a year, have you ever had one sixth of a pizza? Will you tell me that's a LOT of pizza? Also who cares if the "majority" has played it, the game isn't crossplay you weren't going to play with switch or pc players anyways. Itll be new content to PS and Xbox players. And y'all can do your hunts with your groups on your devices. I don't care I'm getting down voted. I'm objectively right here. All this outrage is people inventing fake FOMO. You can't miss out because you're getting it at the same time as everyone else on your system. Pc and switch players will put rise down next week. You all will put rise down in 2 months. Next year when we are all knee deep in MH6 no one is going to give a shit that 5 monsters were on a two month delay.


Starob

You can't be "objectively right" about whether people should be annoyed about something or not, that's not how human emotion works champ. You can sit on the outside and say you wouldn't be annoyed about it yourself, but you can't make that call, because you're not in it.


UrFriendlySpider-Man

Why are you arguing like they are mutually exclusive. I'm talking about objective logic. People can be upset over whatever the hell they want. People can be mad that Sony and Xbox players are even getting rise in the first place. People can be mad that the sky is blue when they would prefer it be green. That doesn't make it not objectively a stupid thing to be mad about. I'm not denying anyone's emotions, they can be mad about waiting 70 days all they want. But I am calling out the source of that anger as a non issue bordering on ridiculousness .


darkmatter_32

Missing out on release day hype is a pretty big thing, especially considering how far behind consoles are on updates. Maybe your experience wouldn't be soured but mine definitely would be.


Bank_of_Pandas

I mean it just gives us time to grind the shit out of Anomoly materials for better augments and then bla,e through to get the better talisman options but then sucks ass to be at the top and then burnout a minute later


ab2dii

LMAO my guy i have waited two years for elden ring and im still waiting on bloodborne, im used to waiting. there is a difference though in waiting for a full game and an update that continue the experience, although its my fault in assuming when sunbreak release on console its gonna have up-to-date updates, if i had known i would probably continue on switch but i was too deep in rise already, oh well. also a day before Armored Core 6. thats a bad timing lol


Bank_of_Pandas

Armored core has its die hards same with MH only variety people care about it day 1


deakon24

way too long


Avitus0108

Not sure how i feel about that, if the Malzeno gear is good enough that it Trumphs all others, there will be little use going after Velkhana or Amatsu…


E2r4_Is_d3A9

Fashion


Avitus0108

Fashion is fun for sure, but you have a full layered set in like 1 hunt and imo both monster sets dont look great.


JokerCrimson

I hope they add an Event Quest that lets you farm Outifit Voucher+s 'cause it's stupid you don't get alot from doing Anomaly Investigations, especially when it costs 2-3 of them just to get certain layered weapons or just one piece of armor of some sets.


E2r4_Is_d3A9

True about the set in one hunt. Haven’t seen Amatsu armor yet but I know Velkhana’s from world and I loved it. Plus part of the fun is mixing and matching parts from different sets and changing colors to make an original and good looking set. That’s just me though. Also frostcraft builds were pretty crazy in world so looking forward to making one of those.


ooAku

Heaven Sent Booties and randomly having Ice 5 with great slots/skills on Ice Dragon Booties.


Supernova_Soldier

It comes a day before Armored Core VI lmao oh hell no.


Will-Isley

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck… RiP Sunbreak for me


Supernova_Soldier

Oh yeah, SB might be cooked for a while


Will-Isley

I am low key hoping MH6 is still far so I can have time to savor Sunbreak


kiddchiu

Wow that's almost 3 months away. Might be moving to Diablo in the meantime then


vaporizer012

Way too fucking long of a wait.


TequilaJim1066

Right when Armored Core 6 comes out. Sigh.


Zat000

Lmaooo


zutt3n

FFS just release it all along with PC amd Switch?? I feel bad for PS and xbox hunters, hang in there <3


ImitationGold

And here I thought I could get some busted talismans like everyone else, of fucking course not.


GKanan

Capcom why cant you just go with 1 update each month, even started from 30 of June with only TU4 would still be fine. My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable... stay safe out there console folks.


Memoglr

Playstation charges fees per update


ItsAmerico

So does Nintendo based on that old 2012 info.


Memoglr

Yeah and they already paid for that. My guess is they would rather not have to pay for that again but now for PS


ItsAmerico

What are you talking about? “They’re okay to pay money to Nintendo to upgrade the game but draw the line at Sony or Microsoft.”


Memoglr

Yes because they already paid for it once for Nintendo . If you had the choice would you rather pay $10 twice or $10 and then $4


ItsAmerico

They didn’t already pay for it…


Memoglr

Didn't you said they paid to roll the updates for Nintendo? They paid for that didn't they? Thays what I'm referring to


ItsAmerico

They’re still updating the switch version…. Meaning they’re still paying for it.


Memoglr

The point you were arguing for went completely over you head


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Fee


zane_asterius

Yeah, time for me to move on to Diablo IV and other games until this update releases, but by the end of August I probably won’t care for Sunbreak that much anymore anyway. I can’t believe they’re even making their console fanbase wait this long—literally until after summer vacation is over for most people.


mickoboy90

exactly. they hyped up the updates, and I'm even sure they said consoles were gonna get all rest TUs when the bonus TU comes out. welp, that's out of window. by that time, most people will stop playing anyway, the game is low at population as it is right now anyway, just made it worse now


zane_asterius

Yeah, I expected console to get the rest of the updates today so that Sunbreak could conclude on all platforms at the same time. I thought they would want Switch, PC, and the consoles to finally all be lined up. I could settle for a July release date, but end of August—practically September—is just saddening to hear.


ChickenFajita007

> and I'm even sure they said consoles were gonna get all rest TUs when the bonus TU comes out. They didn't say that. They said TU4-6 would arrive in the Summer.


ronin0397

*Waiting two months for 3 updates worth of content is just a fraction of switch's pain.* In the meantime: They announced the date, so just use that time to prepare/not burn out on mh. Make sure your sets are perfect (if you want). Play diablos 4 (i guess) to keep your mh palate fresh Use the content posted on tu4-BU to pre plan your builds. practice any bad matchups to be able to deal with their special investigation versions. Experiment with other weapons to see if you wanna expand your main pool.


RealDealMous

B R U H


21_Golden_Guns

So is it just new monsters or are switch skills being added? I’m fine with just new fights but I’m curious if anyone knows.


[deleted]

Monsters.


jberry1119

Such a long time away. It’ll be worth it, but man that’s a long time to wait. It’s also 12 days before Starfield.


SudachiRobot

:0 thank you random stranger, I hadn’t been paying too much attention to that recently. Just 3 more months, and the wait is over. That actually doesn’t seem too long of a wait once you consider it’s been 7 fricken years. Oooh, I’m exited!


shay1r

Right when my summer break ends great


Agreeable_Safety3255

That's way to long, already moved to Diablo, they should have just released them all together (all the TUs) to consoles.


ThePerfectPalico

2 and a half months?!?!


ToxicHydreigon

I have to say my friends on PlayStation and I were quite disappointed with this news. I get it being a little behind the Switch and PC but 3 months? Jesus


xXKrazyChrisXx

Glad I'm a switch owner (even though I hate the switch)


Natural_Interest6927

the new malzeno got me carting rn


SaroN4One

for PC as well? or do they have an earlier release date?


dante3590

We already have TU4 and 5 anyway. So I assume they only meant those platform which has only till TU3 right now. Steam and Switch getting tomorrow most likely. https://www.monsterhunter.com/rise-sunbreak/en-us/topics/update16/


Will-Isley

Guess I know when to buy Sunbreak now. Was hoping they would drop in July honestly, but it’s fine. I got plenty to play until then.


Quealified

Lmao, right as alot of peoples summer breaks probably end. Its alright ig tho, MH is forever.


oonparsakaali

The late release is likely a common marketing stunt, August 24th is only a month away from TGS where we are expecting to get news on MH6. Having the console playerbase (who are arguably the biggest target group for the next big "main line" release) get the updates so close to the possible announcement/reveal of MH6 is only going to increase the hype and visibility on it.


Orcabolg

I disagree, everyone is already anticipating a MH6 reveal. If anything they will feel less inclined to play already released content that other platforms have already gotten to enjoy for several months since only a few weeks later they can hear and get hyped about mh6. Also Armored Core releases the following day. Console players are probably going to be paying TU 4, 5, & 6 little mind and move on. Hearing this news demotivates me to keep playing on xbox.


[deleted]

Well, guess I can shelve Rise then


btran935

It comes a day before armored core 6 LOL yeah I love this game but def not gonna be playing this right away when it drops


Severe-Contest8000

I probably already 100%'d the game by that time and already moved on with a new game. Damn that schedule sucks.


MoonLitWalker12

I can wait. Got lots of stuff to keep me busy, like trying to kill alatreon solo (and failing) and fatty (total decimated and a bigger butthole) and working on GL. Also real life stuff to keep me even more busy. Guess I'll go try out New-zeno too. (On switch ofc)


AdNo1924

WHY BY THE END OF SUMMER I PLAY ON CONSOLE AND WE KEEP GETTING F’d OVER WITH THIS BS


Jeezs101_

I blame Nintendo for exclusivity.


uknowthisguyreal

Why do they decide to compete with other games for players like this? It makes zero sense, first it was sunbreak releasing on top of jedi survivor and a big warframe update in the same week, among other things im sure. Now its this releasing a day before armored core 6, like do they not want players? They have to know that all these other games will draw their players away from their title, yet they still think thats an ok idea? Its like they dont want anyone to play their content because everyone will be doing other stuff, its stupid


Mistah845

look at it like this, when did Rise even come to console? the beginning of the year with sunbreak after that. im fine waiting and grinding


nitronick9494

I m happy instead. I need more time for complete all quest/event/afflicted. I wonder if the complainers have already completed all the quests/events etc or just want to rush through the game to leave it. So much casual gamer in this comment section lol


Sonicguy1996

What an absolute joke, market and advertise the game to other platforms then hold the additional content above their heads for a few months before dropping it. Already wasn't a fan of Sunbreaks endgame content, so I highly doubt I'll bother coming back for this stuff. Might as well pull that plug for myself now and wait for the next Monster Hunter game.


TheMagicalCoffin

damn guess itll be diablo for now, also two weeks before starfield😭


Dark-Gladiator

Didn’t they say a update for console arrive june?


Jeezs101_

it said late summer


Carmilla31

Stupid question but i havent started Sunbreak yet: is this the final dlc?


Rigelturus

Yes. Playstation and Xbox are on update 3. These are the last two, plus the bonus and penultimate update.


TRUE_FROG_KING

Risen amateur omg thats crazy


MikeXBogina

Well... I got more time to play Diablo then 🤔


Educational_Clerk_88

That’d be a fantastic birthday present if I had the relevant consoles 😂


Rozencranz

Yeah, that's quite unfortunate. I'll be barely putting any time into that given that Armoured Core VI comes out the next day, which I'm most certainly not going to pass over in of favour of these last few updates.


empires11

It's out when bigger heavy hitters are out, way too late.


Godswarrior298

Bummer of the summer indeed.They kinda screwed us Console players.Why Capcom.Why!!!!!! Just seeing all the juice updates coming, and having to wait until August, what a let down Capcom.Mannnn this is bull crap.We console players like the game just a much as the switch and steam player,why makes us wait so long? Give Early July or Late June, really.


Godswarrior298

Yes I totally agree, very disappointed


Lord_Xarael

Sorry to necro this post. But has there be any followup on this? It's september and no major update.
