Monster Hunter Rise’s latest free Title Update arrives tomorrow, 27th May, on Switch, bringing a new story ending, two formidable new opponents in the shape the Crimson Glow Valstrax and Apex Zinogre, new DLC, and more.
Crimson Glow Valstrax, if the name sounds familiar, is a new variant of the Elder Dragon first introduced in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, making its Rise debut with a new form and attacks. The beast is able to change the shape of it wings, notes Capcom, enabling it to fly freely through the sky and survive at unusually high altitudes.
As for the Apex Zinogre, it’s a tougher version of the familiar Monster Hunter staple already in Rise, and features a striking new look with its golden fur and lightning. Capcom says it’ll make an appearance in Rampage quests but can be tackled as part of a standard quest too.
Rounding out May’s free Title Update as far as highlights go is a new story ending, which will hopefully flesh out Monster Hunter Rise’s currently rather abrupt, anti-climactic single-player finale. Unsurprisingly, Capcom isn’t sharing much about it for spoiler reasons, only teasing the danger that awaits when Ibushi and Narwa come together.
