The trailer also revealed that three Amiibos will be available along with the expansion. These include the Palamute “Canyne Malzeno X”, the Palico “Felyne Malzeno X”, and the Malzeno, the Dracula-like Elder Dragon that will serve as the flagship monster for players to face in the expansion. These Amiibos will all be released along with the release of the expansion, and each one will also unlock a special layered armor for the playable character when used in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.ย
