Just when you thought you might be making a dint in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s increasingly teetering mound of creature-bothering delights, Capcom is back with word of two new – and extremely angry – subspecies heading to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 soon as part of the expansion’s free March update.
First on the list is a beefed up and stressed out version of everybody’s favourite slime-spreading ground-rattler Brachydios. Based on Capcom’s reveal trailer below, this smouldering new variant’s biggest distinction would appear to be slime attacks that super-heat and explode much faster than usual, leaving considerably less time to get the hell out of the way.
And it sounds like the Brachydios’ already adrenaline-exploding fight theme is getting an appropriately dramatic remix for the arrival of Iceborne’s Raging Brachydios subspecies.
