Monster Hunter Rise‘s 3.0 update releases today, May 26, Capcom announced during its latest Monster Hunter Digital Event stream. The update is slated to go live at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, and it introduces two new monsters to hunt, as well as a new ending to the game’s story.
First is Crimson Glow Valstrax, a new variant of the flagship monster from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. As Capcom describes, “This elder dragon typically secludes itself in the upper atmosphere, but it has been driven mad by its own rampant energy, causing it to lash out at anything in its sight.”
In addition to Crimson Glow Valstrax, the 3.0 update is also introducing Apex Zinogre to the game. “Its body is covered in scars and wounds as if it had been caught in a storm, and it’s seemingly always dominated by wrath and terror,” Capcom says. You can check out both fearsome monsters in the trailer above.
The final big addition is a new ending to the game’s story. It appears the Elder Dragons Ibushi and Narwa, which had been searching for each other throughout the entire game, will finally reunite, and you’ll need to take on both of them together to finally rid Kamura of the Rampage.
Beyond the new monsters, Capcom is also releasing a third wave of cosmetic DLC for the game alongside the 3.0 update. This batch includes more new voices, gestures, hairstyles, and other cosmetic options for your hunter. The update will fix various bugs as well. You can check out the full patch notes below.
There are more free updates on the horizon for Monster Hunter Rise. Beginning in June, Capcom will kick off the Capcom Collab, a series of crossover events that will introduce gear based on other Capcom titles.
