Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter: World will be getting a slew of fresh content later this month, chief among which includes a brand new threat to tackle in the shape of the golden, hulking Kulve Taroth.
The beast will cough some handsome rewards when defeated, Capcom says, although vanquishing the foe won’t be a walk in the park. To tie-in with this new enemy, the development team is introducing a new quest mode known as Siege. This is a collaborative effort that invites 16 players to the Gathering Hub to map out your strategy, allowing for four groups of four players to hunt the same Kulve Taroth and soak up the rewards.
Interestingly, the creature’s mantle is comprised of various weapons and other goodies that it’s collected while rampaging throughout the land, and Capcom advises players to break as many off as possible to increase your chances of bagging some sweet loot.
Finally, Monster Hunter: World’s next update will also cough up fresh blueprints allowing you to cobble together α and β pieces of armour, and players can also get their mitts on a new Layered Armour Set. This allows you to equip the armour on top of your existing set to change its appearance, and will be rolled out starting April 19 at 1.00am BST.Â
Monster Hunter: World was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January and quickly went on to become Capcom’s best-selling video game of all time. Alice spent hours hunting down various monstrosities in the game, and came out with a huge smile on her face.Â
