That should afford the Atlas Lions a softer Round of 16 draw, right? Well, how about a date with 2010 champions Spain, who finished second in Group E behind surprise winners Japan. It’s an unlucky draw, but also presents an opportunity to shake up the tournament field as Morocco search for a statement upset.

Fast forward three years later, and Capcom’s next Monster Hunter expansion, Sunbreak, is here, but this time for the Switch/PC exclusive Monster Hunter Rise. Comparing these two expansions might not be fair, as Rise and World are two very different games, but still, it’s hard not to, especially since Rise was built off of World’s quality of life features that make both games so approachable for newcomers.

Specifically, there are two new improvements in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne that make the game even better to play and are really smart. The first of those improvements is the ‘Raider Ride’ ability, which allows players to call a small creature to ride....
