The fearsome black dragon that is Fatalis is returning to Monster Hunter this October as part of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's final update. The beast arrives alongside a bunch of cosmetic additions, including layered armour options for every set in the game. A load of smaller gameplay tweaks will be made as well.

We've included screenshots from the final developer livestream below.

Monster Hunter World Final Update

At this point it goes without saying that Capcom has done an amazing job of updating Monster Hunter World. The title released over two years ago, and the company has delivered significant updates on a regular basis ever since. It's fair to assume that with World's development cycle coming to an end, the team at Capcom will be fully committing to its next Monster Hunter project.

It's worth noting, though, that seasonal events will still happen beyond the final update -- so you don't have to worry about missing out on certain quests once Fatalis hits on the 1st October.
