　　Both single- and multiplayer content will be playable, according to the official Monster Hunter website. The Iceborne beta will also include difficulty scaling (depending on the number of players in a party), new actions and combos for all weapons, Tailraiders that can be summoned and ridden in the world, and more.

　　Capcom unveiled the new Iceborne expansion during Sony's State of Play in May 2019. Along with some returning monsters like the Nargacuga and the Tigrex, Iceborne will introduce new areas, monsters, weapons, and more.

　　Monster Hunter World: Iceborne launches on September 6 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PC hunters will have to be patient, as Iceborne launches sometime this winter for the platform.
