‘Developer Diary: The Final Stand’ streaming on August 28
[Update: Capcom is wrapping upIcebornewith one final fight on October 1, and it’sFatalis.]
If you’ve been wondering what’s next forMonster Hunter, I’m right there with you.

Iceborneis still doing its thing– we’re waiting on the fifth major title update, which will bring another “returning monster” and Master Rank layered armor– but then what? Apart from an eventual sequel toMonster Hunter: World(or heck, even another expansion), I’d love to see something new for Nintendo Switch. I’m getting ahead of myself, but it’s fun to speculate when the series is living its best life.
In the more immediate future, Capcom has begun teasing a significantIceborneannouncement.

On Friday, August 28, Capcom will stream a developer diary called The Final Stand at 5:00 a.m. Pacific on theMonster Hunter Twitch channel. “You won’t want to miss this one,” the studio teased.

The aforementioned fifth title update isaiming for a fall release, but thatdoesn’t necessarily meanFriday’s developer diary is only going to cover that content. We’ll see! The stakes are only rising after Alatreon, and fans are pretty sure Capcom will cap things off with the fierce black dragonFatalis.
