14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom has just announced the second free title update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion is now available for download on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The free update brings new monsters, more end-game content and lots of tweaks and improvements to further enhanced the gameplay experience.
Veterans will be thrilled to know that developers have included a subspecies for fan-favorite Zinogre, a tempered Elder Dragon and a brand new region for the Guiding Lands area. Fan-favorite Zinogre originally charged into Iceborne with its electrifying attacks, and now a more vicious variant awaits. Stygian Zinogre is a more vicious variant of fan-favorite monster originally charged into Iceborne with electrifying attacks.
Also, a new Tundra Region expands the Guiding Lands end-game locale further with a snowy landscape that’s home to bone-chilling monsters such as Barioth and Viper Tobi-Kadachi. As an added incentive, special materials exclusive to the Tundra Region can be used to increase the maximum level for weapon augmentation.
But that's not all, as Monster Hunter players will find that a tempered Elder Dragon is also being added to challenge hunters: Tempered Ruiner Nergigante.
For console hunters making their way through the main story in Monster Hunter: World, new Defender Weapons for all 14 weapon types are now available as part of the latest update. The weapons can be easily forged at the Smithy and are upgradable, becoming even more valuable for those currently playing World.
The update includes more Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds Collaboration Quests on PlayStation 4, which are available from 4 pm PT on December 12 to 12 am GMT on December 13.
Players will get a chance to craft all-new themed equipment fashioned after the Shield-Weaver armor in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, and upgrade the Stormslinger weapon from the previous November quest. Also, Palico companions can get special gear designed after Frostclaws, bear-like machines found in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds.
Last but not least, a third round of exclusive collaboration quests for PlayStation 4 players will be available from 4 pm PT on December 26 to 12 am GMT on December 27. This new event quest will reward players with special materials to craft the new Banuk α+ armor set.
Iceborne players will also get an opportunity to upgrade Aloy’s Bow and craft a new Felyne Watcher equipment, which were originally available in Monster Hunter: World, with Master Rank level stats.
