DLC "Additional Side Story: Rudy" may also get an earlier release date.

Capcom will release a free update for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection this summer, which adds “extremely powerful versions” of monsters called “Royal Monsters,” producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said in a video message.

“In Monster Hunter Stories 3, we are currently preparing a free update featuring extremely powerful versions of Monsters, called Royal Monsters, appearing in the field, allowing players to enjoy even more challenging battles,” Tsujimoto said. “Riders of level 90 or above will need to prepare carefully and use their strongest Monsties and strategies to defeat to them. We hope this will push your skills to the limit! This free update is planned for release this summer.”

Tsujimoto continued, “Also, the development for paid [downloadable content] ‘Additional Side Story: Rudy’ is currently progressing well, and we’re considering a potential earlier release date. We are planning to share additional info on the [downloadable content] in the future. Please bear with us for just a little bit longer.”
