Details regarding Monster Hunter: World’s first major update is here. Called Iceborne, the update brings the Capcom title into a frigid tundra to fight the beasts therein.
Capcom announced the update recently alongside a new trailer. In it, we see a team of hunters in chase of a Rathalos. Instead of fighting, the firey beast flies out into the sea, and toward an island of ice. Que the cool name reveal. Before the video ends, a monster shrouded in darkness slashes around some and glows with red eyes.
