Today, Capcom revealed that the infamous black dragon, Altreon, is coming to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne in May. Many months ago, the team teased the return of a fan-favorite beast, but it was unclear which one it was.
There was speculation about a variety of different ones, but I don't think anyone expected Altreon to return.
Altreon is one of the most challenging monsters in Monster Hunter and it'll be quite a fight to take this ferocious dragon down. Not only does this creature have a lot of stamina, but it has incredibly powerful attacks that you have to dodge at all costs. While tweaks are expected to take place for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, we expect how to fight it to remain roughly the same.
There's also a new title update available for the game. The third patch adds two powerful monster variants, bug fixes, and a seasonal in-game event, the "Full Bloom Fest." However, the biggest change has to be "layered weapons." These alter the appearnce of your weapons without impacting their statistics. The first wave of layered weapons is available now, and you can customize fully-upgraded weapons with different base frames and monster organs.
