Capcom has also updated the title roadmap to show changes in production. The update will have the black dragon Alatreon, along with Alatreon weapons and armour. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne recently introduced Arch-Tempered Namielle and Master Rank Kulve Taroth as well as a tier of layered weapons.
The development team writes: “Unfortunately, coronavirus related impacts on production have made it necessary to postpone the release of the fourth free title update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne […] Thank you very much for your continued support and patience. From all the development team at Capcom, happy hunting and stay safe!”
The game has featured some exclusive Event Quests, which will be extended in the future as Capcom is working on the next update.
