The monster’s silhouette on the roadmap image also looks very similar to Kushala Daora as well, further suggesting its arrival in June. If the addition of an Elder Dragon wasn’t exciting enough, the devs are also adding a Leviathan in July. Many players hoping this will either be Mizutsune or Lagiacurus, while August will also receive an additional monster.
There’s also going to be a new weapon added, so Hunters will be able to expand their arsenal further when the summer update arrives in June.
Niantic also stated the following when discussing the Season 1 finale and upcoming content: “We’re also planning an epic event to close out Season 1 and that is just the beginning! More monster events are coming, plus this fall look forward to another major update to commemorate the 1-year anniversary of Monster Hunter Now.”
