Monster Hunter World's Spring Update Dated and Detailed; Deviljho Gameplay Revealed

Changes are incoming for nearly every weapon type in Monster Hunter World - so how does your weapon of choice fare?

Earlier today, we reported on the when Deviljho will be coming to Monster Hunter World, as well as details regarding the first big content drop for the hit action game. We have yet to receive more info if it has anything more to offer.

Mark your calendars: the Deviljho is headed to the New World, devouring everything in its path, and will be arriving on March 22 with our first free major title update (PS4 version 2.00 / Xbox One 2.0.0.0). Players will also be able to participate in "daily fun activities".

The Spring Blossom Fest seasonal event will then commence on 5th April at 5pm PT (6th April, 12am GMT), with fun activities through which you'll be able to unlock materials to craft the Wyvern Ignition Great Sword, victor of the community Weapon Design Contest (pictured below).

Monster Hunter: World's Celestial Pursuit Gathering Hub will be decked out accordingly for the Spring Blossom Fest celebrations, with Guild staff sporting official uniforms for the occasion. You can take a look at the concept art and in-game render of the sword below.

Further to that, there are a number of adjustments that will be made to the game's various weapons.

The headline addition in this update is a new monster named Deviljho, who promises to be a challenging foe for players who have long mastered the existing roster.

We'll be sharing a more comprehensive list when the title update goes live.

Finally, Capcom is letting players the chance to edit the gender and physical appearance of each player's hunter, although this will be in the form of a one-use only token, so be wise about what changes are you going to make.

Added "Return to Gathering Hub" (single player) and "Disband & Return to Gathering Hub" (multiplayer) to the options for "Select Return Destination" after a quest has been completed.
