Dead Rising: Watchtower, the film based on Capcom’s open world zombie games, premieres March 27 on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Crackle streaming service. Crackle is free with ad support on all platforms, including PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The film will also be released on physical media and other digital platforms sometime after the Crackle opening. Some video on demand distribution channels will release it as an episodic series, rather than a single movie.

Watchtower stars The Daily Show‘s Rob Riggle as Frank West, a photojournalist who finds himself trapped in a zombie outbreak while tracking down its roots in a government conspiracy. He is joined in the cast by Harley Morenstein, purveyor of fried and alcoholic recipes on Epic Meal Time, as a biker named Pyro, with This Means War‘s Aleks Paunovic as the gang leader, Logan. Keegan Connor Tracey from Bates Motel rounds out the protagonists as a journalist named Jordan. The film is written by Tim Carter (Sleeping Dogs).

Capcom’s Dead Rising came out in 2006, with two sequels and a number of spin-offs released since. Most recently, Dead Rising 3 was the largest yet in the series and an Xbox One exclusive launch title.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak DLC: How to get Awegite

Four hunters attacking a lizard monster.

While the title of the series may make it seem pretty straightforward, there's actually much more to the Monster Hunting games than just hunting monsters. These are hunting RPGs, and the act of tackling some of the most massive, aggressive, and awe-inspiring beasts ever seen are certainly the core, but the things between the hunts are just as important. It's between hunts where you can craft new items to upgrade your hunter in meaningful ways so that you're able to actually stand a chance against the next bigger and badder monster.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak DLC: All new monsters explained

Two hunters fighting a winged monster.

Every new entry in the Monster Hunter series brings a mix of new and old monsters to hunt down, carve up, and craft into your very own armor and weapons. Just like in the Pokemon franchise, it's really the monsters, not your character, that is the main attraction. Monster Hunter Rise started out with a decent-sized roster of massive beasts to keep you occupied through all the various hunter ranks, but eventually, you will become an expert hunter who knows exactly what to expect from each and every hunt.

Capcom is aware of this, which is why DLC for their Monster Hunter games is so important. They bring in even more new creatures to learn, grind, and just marvel at. Sunbreak for Monster Hunter Rise is one of the most extensive DLCs the series has seen yet and is well worth picking up your weapons once again to explore the new environments and see what dangerous predators await you. If you want to get a sneak peek at all the new monsters laying in wait in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, here's a full list with some basic tips to help your first hunt be a success.
All new monsters added in Sunbreak
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak brings in a total of 17 monsters to the roster, seven of which are returning from previous entries. Six are subspecies, and four are completely new, too. Here's the full list, plus their general strengths and weaknesses:
