Capcom Lays Out 2020 Content Roadmap For ‘Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’
With the recent PC release on January 9th for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Capcom has updated their roadmap for the expansion. The update coincides with the news that updates across console and PC will sync starting with the release of the version 13.5 update in April.
According to the press release, the PC version will begin its updates on February 6 with Rajang, which was released for consoles back in October). Along with Rajang, PC players will also receive a new Volcanic Region, which will be added to the end-game Guiding Lands, and becomes accessible once players have started the special assignment quest to battle Rajang. Leon and Claire from Resident Evil 2 will also pay a visit on February 6th (as they did back in October for consoles).
As for console owners, they will be receiving time-limited events celebrating the two-year anniversary of Monster Hunter: World (at the same time as PC owners), as well as new limited time event quests with increased odds of encountering gold crown monsters, decorations, and Great Spiritvein Gems. This all comes to a head in April, when both consoles and PC will sync with new Arch-Tempered and Master Rank versions of existing monsters, as well as the return of a “fan-favorite monster” in May.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne launched for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One back on September 6, 2019, while the PC version is available on Steam.
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
