Overnight Capcom announced that the 3.0 update for Monster Hunter Rise is now available and brings forth some new beasties to hunt, gear to obtain and updates to the stories end, check out the trailer below.

First up, is the arrival of a new variant of Valstrax, the flagship monster from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. This mysterious Elder Dragon is known by the name Crimson Glow Valstrax and can soar through the skies by changing the shape of its wings, allowing it to fly and attack from unusually high altitudes.

Next, Apex Zinogre enters the fray with an electric “golden lighting” look and different attacks that might leave hunters in shock. Additionally, a new quest featuring an epic showdown with the Thunder Serpent Narwa and Wind Serpent Ibushi will provide players with a highly-anticipated new ending to the storyline. This new story ending, as well as the two new monsters, new quests, new weapon and armor options, new skills, and more will be available to players for free in the update.

Below you can see the planned schedule for the upcoming free updates, right now there is nothing listed past August and that might be when the support stops, but given World got support for years, I doubt this will stop only after a few months.

Today though has the release of more paid DLC, with DLC Pack 3 arriving for those fashion-forward hunters, and inside players will find even more new voice options, gestures, hairstyles, sticker sets, background music and more.
