One of the biggest moments seen in the trailer is a look at the Seliana Fun Fright Fest, this years Halloween themed event that will be taking place from October 15th through November 5th. This latest version of the seasonal festivals that bringall ofMonster Hunter World’s event questsback for a limited time, will also offer the opportunity for players to earn new, spooky armor. Additionally, the players' Palico, Poogie, and the Handler will also be receiving specially themed outfits, which is another staple of these festivals as they have appeared in the past.
The most exciting thing coming with this update, however, is the addition of the legendary monsterFatalis arriving toMonster Hunter Worldon October 1st. Fatalis will be coming alongside an arch-tempered version ofIceborne’s flagship monster, Velkhana, who will now be tougher than ever and give players the chance to unlock a special Gama gear set. Between these new monsters, and the new festival, this final update is shaping up to bring tons of hours to fans, especially considering that Fatalis is expected to be the most difficult challenge players have faced so far.
This title update is somewhat bittersweet for some players, as it is both looking to bring a beloved monster from the overall series toMonster Hunter Worldas well as establish the beginning of the end for the game. However, with new titles likeMonster Hunter Stories 2andMonster Hunter Risecoming to Switch, it doesn’t look like Capcom is anywhere near finished with the series. It’s yet to be seen if there will be plans for aMonster Hunter Worldsequel, possibly even on next-gen consoles, but it is likely that a similarly sized title is well within the scope of speculation.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborneis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
