Monster Hunter World's Spring Update Dated and Detailed; Deviljho Gameplay Revealed

In addition to the Mega Man voxel style Palico gear which will be available as a special Event Quest from April 13-27, Capcom is also rolling out the Wyvern Ignition Great Sword, which is the winning entry from community weapon design contest.

Once again, the first major Monster Hunter World update begins on March 22, so get ready! You can take a look at the concept art and in-game render of the sword below.

The next big update will be next month in the form of the Spring Blossom Festival.

The March update is also going to introduce plenty of balance changes for most weapon types as well as new features. Since this is the first major monster being added to the game we can expect a challenging fight, especially considering how much time players have dedicated to the game since it launched in January.

Great Sword: increased the damage for Charged Slash abilities. For more information, visit Capcom's Unity Blog. And speaking of adjustments, if you're not happy in retrospect with how you've crafted your Hunter, players will be getting a free "Hunter Personal Grooming Ticket" that will allow you to change your Hunter's gender and looks, though your Palico and your name will stay the same. It'll just appear in the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Store, so all you'll need to do is grab it as a freebie. The introduction of paid appearance change tickets will be introduced to the players. Additionally, players are now immune to all hit reactions, including bombs, during carving animations after quest completion.

A quality of life improvement will be added, as well, with the option to return to the gathering hall after a quest has been completed.

Attacks from allies no longer interrupt you during the carving animation.

Added the "Text Size" setting for changing subtitle text size, under Start Menu Options Game Settings. Completing an unannounced set of conditions will unlock the special assignment quest for the new monster.
