News from Iceborne?
Here’s why Iceborne is so important for the fans: Iceborne is the first expansion for Monster Hunter World. The paid DLC brings several new contents, including a new “quest rank”.
If you have ever played a G-version of a Monster Hunter title, you know roughly what to expect in terms of scope with Iceborne:
- a new region
- new monsters
- new equipment
- a new campaign
It will probably be a massive add-on. Therefore, players can hardly wait for any information that sweetens the waiting time.
When will Iceborne be released? The DLC is planned for fall 2019. However, the battle-hardened Nergigante should come first.
What about the battle-hardened Nergigante?
Here’s why many hope for new information about Nergigante: Since the end of last year, there has really been no new information about the tougher version of the Elder Dragon.
Moreover, the Nergigante is quite a popular monster that serves as the flagship of Monster Hunter World. It is also the last announced “new” content for MHW until Iceborne is released.
When can we expect the Nergigante? So far, it is only known that it is supposed to appear in spring 2019. According to Capcom’s schedule, it is about time to present it.
The Spring Update Reveal
What is the Spring Update actually? So far, it is mainly known that it is a live stream. Several developers, including producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, will be present.
What is the Spring Update about? According to Destructoid.com, the stream will cover upcoming content and events. This is sparking a lot of speculation and desires among fans.
When and where will the stream take place? Here, the Spring Update will take place on the night of May 9th to Friday, May 10th at 1 AM. If you can’t watch it live, expect the first information in the morning.
You can watch the stream on Twitch.tv. The English stream will likely also be streamed on YouTube. Currently, only the Japanese YouTube stream has been announced.
