Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate screenshots show returning monsters, new subspecies and field
Straight out of today's Akihabara Hunting Rival event.
Capcom released new screenshots showing new monster subspecies, returning monsters, and a new field in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate at the series’ Hunting Rival event in Akihabara today.
Returning monsters shown include the Desert Tyrant Flying Wyvern Diablos, the Ultimate Shield Crab Daimyo Hermitaur, the Sand Wyvern Cephadrome, and the One Horned Wyvern Monoblos.
Monster subspecies appearing for the first time include:
- Kechawacha Subseries
- Tetsucabra Subspecies
- Zamtrios Subspecies
- Najarala Subspecies
- Seltas Subspecies
- Seltas Queen Subspecies
- Nerscylla Subspecies
The new field shown is the Old Desert. From ancient times, hunters and monsters alike have engaged in battle within this vast desert. In this land under intense sunlight, where hot sand flutters about, players will encounter various plants and animals, as well as quicksand, a rock-face oasis, cave, and Felyne den. Through the passing years, players will be able to witness the desert’s topographical and ecological changes.
Elsewhere in the screenshots, you’ll see a new weapon action. If you find yourself extra surprised from an ally player’s attack, from there you can perform a jump attack.
Also, using heavy fire from your Felyne Firedrake Carriage, which resembles the monster Teostra, you should be able to take out even large monsters.
View the screenshots at the gallery. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is due out for 3DS in Japan on October 11 and in North America and Europe in early 2015.
