Will there be an expansion after Iceborne? / Things you would like to see in this game?

[Xoazh]

I would like to know your sincere opinion about an upcoming expansion? and possible monsters that could come to this game?

[mewlynx]

There won't be another expansion and I'd rather get a new MH so they can add new monster types.

[Kyshion]

There won't be any new expansions. But I hope they will add new weapon types in future MH games.

[Dart]

I just want the connections to not die horribly for seemingly no reason months after launch, and I just want the game to run.

Capcom confirmed we won't get any new expansions.

Skip to about 7:56 minutes in, that's when the interviewer asks if Iceborne will be the final expansion for World, and it is confirmed it will be.

When we have a bunch of games that get updated for years if not decades, it's easy for the average consumer to assume Capcom could just keep updating MHW for years and years, but they WILL move on to a 6th generation, they've probably already started on prototyping/concept art/design, and it's pretty important that they do, for reasons like:

• There's a lot of stuff you simply can't do in an update, or if you did it'd likely turn out badly. If we use underwater combat as an example, adding it to MHW is essentially impossible, (best case scenario, it'd be a onetime gimmick) adding it to a new 6th gen game
  
  
• Powercreep would start to become a serious issue if you keep updating a game over and over, and use the allure of stronger equipment to draw people in to keep playing. World already has arguably the strongest hunters out of any mainline MH game and problems start to arise if you keep tuning up the power scale.
  
  
• A new generation allows the MH team to re-design other aspects of the game they wouldn't be able to in an update. Eg. Are randomised decos and craftable charms the new normal, or are we going to go back to craftable decos and randomised charms? Are Specialised Tools going to be a reoccuring feature, or World-specific, and if so what replaces them? A new generation allows the MH team to go back and make decisions like this.
  
  
• Expansions and the like inevitably have diminishing returns. MHW has a lot of fans but Iceborne couldn't sell anywhere near as well as base World because it's an expansion, and another expansion on top of Iceborne that'd likely require it would have even further diminishing returns.

Yeah, I'd rather see capcom refine the new formula with MH6. I'm not completely against Monster Hunter Frontier equivalent but I wouldn't want this game to be one.

There's no plans for more expansions .
We're also pretty close to the final update as they said iceborne would get support for one year .

I just want to fight Fatalis, MH boomers make such a big deal of it that I want to know what the hype is all about. Hopefully World: 2 (or whatever it's called) will add real servers, I'm tired of always having to join discord to play with others.

[Hamez]

i dont mind if they make a new game, JUST RELEASE IT ON PC FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Hell even make it so its cross platform play.

Fatalis is only well known because of lore and the fact he was the first final boss of the series. (and the first black dragon). most people agree on the fact that he wasn't a very fun or interesting fight.
and Iceborne will probably completly ruin it's difficulty. (also Fatalis is pretty much garanted now)

Hopefully MHW2 uses the same engine so they can get the game out faster. Maybe give PC ray tracing, would make fights like Namielle look sick.

No I rather have quality instead of a rushed product with an outdated engine.

Don't get your hopes up. Fatalis is an incredibly boring and monotonous fight. Unless they revamp the entire fight, you will be incredibly disappointed.

No rushing. They can use or improve the engine so they can spend more time on biomes and monsters.

Look at the Metro games. Same engine but improvements per each game.
