Capcom teases Monster Hunter World: Iceborne "The Final Stand"

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's Title Update 4 released earlier this month, bringing Alatreon - Monster Hunter 3's biggest, baddest elder dragon - to the game. Now, developer Capcom's teasing news about what could potentially be the action-RPG game's Iceborne finale, via a dev diary announcement that references an ominous-sounding "Final Stand".

The news posted on the game's Twitter channel says: "Iceborne Developer Diary: The Final Stand imminent! You won't want to miss this one...". Gulp. The diary goes live on Friday, August 28 at 05:00 PT / 08:00 ET / 13:00 BST and you can tune in on the Monster Hunter Twitch channel here. Other than that, details on what the dev update will hold are sparse - though we can hazard a decent guess based on what's in the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne 2020 roadmap on the game's site.

The incoming Title Update 5, which is set to launch sometime this autumn, will feature a "returning monster" - so, presumably a beastie from the series' past - as well as some Master Rank layered armour and two fests: Astera and Seliana.
