　　Capcom also just revealed the first post-launch free DLC for Iceborne: a huge ape-like beast from previous games known as Rajang, who can transform into a deadly Rage Mode. The new monster will be available in October.

　　Now, in this pre-order guide, there are some things to pay attention to. If you already own the original game, you can purchase the Iceborne expansion on its own from your platform's respective store. There are also a couple different physical versions that include the entire base game, the Iceborne expansion, and some extras.

　　Monster Hunter World: Iceborne launches for PS4 and Xbox One on September 6. It doesn't have a set release date for PC, but it is slated to launch in January next year.
