Following last week’s gameplay video, Capcom is continuing to engage Monster Hunter Rise fans with another new reveal for the upcoming Sunbreak expansion.
The series’ official Twitter page has shared two new characters: Sir Jae, a close-combat fighter, and Dame Luchika, a ranged unit. If they seem familiar, you may recall their brief appearance at the 52-second mark of last month’s “Three Lords” trailer.
These two were shown standing beside Admiral Galleus in the recent trailer. Dame Luchika specializes in ranged artillery, and Sir Jae specializes in weapons for close combat.

The characters’ voice actors were also announced. Jae is voiced by Griffin Burns, whose previous roles include Todd in New Pokémon Snap, Fret in NEO The World Ends with You, and Cyril in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Luchika is played by Karen Strassman, who played Rouge in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020, Sky in Shantae and the Seven Sirens, and Anna in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak will launch on Nintendo Switch and PC on June 30th.
