     Steam Deck dock delayed due to parts shortages and COVID-19

Valve has announced that its official Steam Deck dock is delayed due to a combination of parts shortages and closures related to COVID-19 at the manufacturing facilities for the official docking station. There is no new date given for the dock yet, but the company reassures that production of the Steam Deck itself, which recently saw an update to fix its loud fan noise, is unaffected.

The short update from Valve reads as follows: "Hi all. Due to parts shortages and COVID closures at our manufacturing facilities, the official Steam Deck docking station is delayed. We're working on improving the situation and will share more info when we have it. This has no effect on production schedule and reservation windows for Steam Decks (different parts, different factories)."

The update also states that, "In the meantime the team is continuing to work on improving the docked experience for Steam Deck with all USB-C hubs and external displays." Some users will likely be looking for the best Steam Deck dock from third parties following news of this delay, so any improvements to functionality will be welcome.

Because I now live in a country that isn't the UK, I get different bank holidays to staff in the UK, which it turns out is almost everyone else. This means I'm at work today and Friday. For other people outside the UK who don't know, this weekend it is celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. She's the first UK monarch to manage 70 years on the throne, most of the other ones having killed each other or somesuch. The country, specifically England, has responded to this by going absolutely off the boil, represented even in digi-form with a virtual street party map in Minecraft. I wouldn't normally write about it, but it gives me an excuse to republican-post on main when nobody is looking.

The benefits of monarchy are few and far between, but you do sometimes get a bonus public holiday to 'celebrate' them clinging onto the cushy job their dad gave them. Here in the UK, the four-day Platinum Jubilee weekend has just begun, meaning we here at RPS will be mostly quiet from Thursday until Monday. What are you playing this long weekend?

Seregios can get stuffed. I recently faced off against the massive golden dragon during a hands-on session for Sunbreak, the upcoming expansion pack for Monster Hunter Rise, and it battered me repeatedly for the best part of an hour. It has become the flying white whale to my dual blade wielding Ahab, and I left the preview event determined to chop it to bits when the DLC finally arrives later this month.

Sunbreak's new master rank quests aren't messing around, basically. It seems Capcom have taken criticisms that the base version of Monster Hunter Rise didn't provide challenging enough end-game content to heart, and have loaded the expansion with some truly agonising encounters purpose-built for returning veterans.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Title Updates

According to an interview with Dengeki, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak will see several updates appear after the expansion releases on June 30, 2022. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto revealed that the game will receive Title Updates. Additionally, the team is also planning to release Event Quests. [Thanks, Dengeki!]

Tsujimoto spoke briefly on the expected lifespan of the Rise expansion. When asked about the longevity of the game following its release, this is what he had to say:

It depends on the person as to what the term "long" means, but I'll say that we are "planning to carry out several updates."

The interview also touched on the potential number of monsters that will appear in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. Tsujimoto mentioned that he cannot give an exact number at this time, but stated that there may potentially be more information about this leading up to the release of the game. However, he encourages consumers to wait for Title Update announcements concerning Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Director Yoshitaka Suzuki also spoke about the various influences for the new monsters that will appear in the title. While the Malzeno's vampire influence was already known, he reveals that the Lunagaron is based off of a werewolf and the Garangolm is inspired by Frankenstein. While Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak may be moving away from a more Japanese-inspired area, the title will still feature monsters based on popular mythos. Now, they will just be those from different regions.

Monster Hunter Rise is available for the PC and Nintendo Switch. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak will release for the PC and Nintendo Switch on June 30, 2022. A Digital Deluxe Edition is available to pre-order.
