Capcom has released a new trailer and an accompanying developer update video revealing cool new details for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the highly anticipated massive expansion to Capcom’s best-selling Monster Hunter: World. The videos reveal more info on returning and new monsters, including a closer look at Velkhana, the mysterious Elder Dragon that’s new to the series. Additionally, new options will be available to help players progress through the main World game and further encourage existing players to aid other hunters in the community.

Iceborne will include a multitude of new monsters and subspecies for hunters to challenge, and today, two more have been confirmed to join the upcoming massive expansion’s lineup. The brute wyvern Brachydios is a returning fan-favourite known for its explosive slime attacks, while Namielle, a mysterious all-new Elder Dragon, unleashes powerful water-based attacks. More details about the new flagship monster Velkhana have also emerged. This Elder Dragon’s icy breath can cause frozen pillars to form on the battlefield, which hunters can use to create exciting opportunities for new hunting strategies.

A free Guardian Armour set will be provided to all hunters, both World and Iceborne, as part of an upcoming title update on September 4th in time for the launch of the expansion. This upgradable armour set offers increased defense and skills that help hunters survive in the New World. The buffed armour can be equipped from the beginning of the World game and is especially geared towards newer hunters to help them progress through the main story.

Another gameplay feature new to the series and on offer for all players is Hunter Helper, which focuses on Low Rank and High-Rank player assistance by creating a further incentive for the community to help fellow hunters. Helpful players will get rewarded with exclusive in-game Pendants and Trophies for assisting other hunters in ranks below their own.
