MH Rise Sunbreak Speculations
Iceborne Updates May Be Adopted
▲The new monster has similarities with Velkhana
"Iceborne & Sunbreak" are both an extended content and it is possible that Iceborne's mechanics; such as Clutch Claw or Slinger Ammo may be adopted to Sunbreak.
Possible Western Designed Monster
▲The area looks like an abandoned castle
In the trailer, the area gives a "Western" vibes to the game. It is possible that there are monsters related to western cultures in Sunbreak!
Possible Vaal Hazak Re-Appearance
Zombies are one of the mythical creatures in western culture, so there's a chance that Vaal Hazak re-appears on Sunbreak!
Another Apex Or Rare Variant Monsters
▲Apex Rathalos has strengthened airborne attacks
Subspecies & other monster variants also appear in G-Rank quests, and there's a possibility that they will appear in Sunbreak.

▲MHXX G-Rank armor have alphabets such as X, Z, XR, GX, and GXS.
Aside from Low Rank & High Rank Armor, it is also possible that there will be additional G-Rank Armor sets like in most Monster Hunter games. This new set of armors have higher stats compared to High Rank armors.

Difficult Quests To Speedrun
▲MHXX G-Rank Quests are so hard that even expert hunters have a hard time.
Due to their increased difficulty, G-Rank quests are more appealing to speedrunners. There's a chance that G-Rank Rampage Quests will be much more difficult than the recent hub quests.

New Storyline May Be Added
▲Rathalos is chasing something in the trailer.
In the first part of the trailer, Rathalos is chasing some type of Dragon-Type Energy. Then a mysterious monster appears that may luring Rathalos. It is possible that Sunbreak is a story about the monsters being controlled by a mysterious dragon.
Appearance Of Ancient Dragons
In Monster Hunter franchise, there are ancient dragons that cause great danger. These monsters are served as the last boss in previous Monster Hunter Games. There's a chance that Dire Miralis may be the last boss in Sunbreak as there are evidence in the Relic Records that shows its existence in RIse.
