PS4 and Xbox One gamers will soon have access to a brand new Monster Hunter World update that will bring fresh challenges to the game.
July 8 will see the release of the MHW Iceborne Alatreon, among other new content.
However, It should be noted that while this new Monster Hunter World patch includes a number of new things, not everything will be available on launch day.
This means that while the Frostfang Barioth will be added to the game on July 9, it won’t be available to face in the wild until August.
Here’s what we know about the upcoming MHW release, coming July 9 on PS4 and Xbox One.
