Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Get Its Fourth Title Update Soon, Here's When

Back in late April, Capcom announced that the free fourth title update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne was indefinitely delayed due to production difficulties caused by the coronavirus crisis. Now, the publisher says that the update will come in early July, with a firm release date coming soon.

This update was originally scheduled for May and will introduce the fan-favorite black dragon Alatreon, along with his attendant weapons and armor. There's no word on future content besides the promise of more monsters later in the summer, as the content roadmap provided by Capcom in late April ends with the fourth title update.

The latest update for Iceborne increased the drop rates of materials for two Event Quests, one featuring Seething Bazelgeuse and the other a Tempered Zinogre. The update prior to that introduced a Master rank quest to slay Kulve Taroth, one of the game's most fearsome foes.
