Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Will Add New Monster Alatreon In May

With Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s third new title update happening on March 23, Capcom has gone ahead and teased what the fourth new title update in May will bring: a powerful and fierce dragon named Alatreon.

Alatreon is an elementally unstable Elder Dragon that has appeared in previous games, and judging by the reception, a fan favorite. It first appeared in Monster Hunter 3 and is capable of using multiple elements. In previous games, the monster was able to use Dragon, Thunder, Ice and Fire attacks, depending on a few factors and conditions. No information is available yet on how and if Alatreon will be modified for its addition to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

But taking a step back, other than Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang being added on March 23 and Alatreon arriving in May, Capcom will also be adding a few new monsters to the game in April. Kulve Taroth will be available to fight through a four-player Master Rank quest. Namielle, an Arch-Tempered monster, will also show up in the game. Arch-Tempered monsters are stronger versions of Tempered monsters and usually deal more damage.

The fourth title update in May is the last one in the Monster Hunter World roadmap, and we’ll have to wait and see what else the developers have in store for the game beyond June. Check out the details on Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang revealed by Capcom in Developer Diary 5, as well as information surrounding the brand new layered weapons feature in the third title update.

The Real Killer Clown That Inspired AHS’ Twisty

For some clowns mean big smiles, floppy feet, and lapel adornments that spray water into your face unexpectedly. For others, however, the sight of make-up adorned children’s entertainers is traumatic. When it comes to phobias, clowns are surprisingly common. At the very least, a great number of people will agree that there’s something unsettling about them.

This, in some part, has to do with the fiction that surrounds them. Whether it’s Pennywise from Stephen King’s It or Twisty from American Horror Story (a more recent, but equally scary entry into the pantheon of killer circus performers), media has reinforced the idea that clowns should be feared. It’s no wonder then, that they exist as a terror to both children and adults.

But where did this fear of clowns come from? Well, it actually came from a very real, very horrific string of murders perpetrated by a man in a clown costume.

In this episode of True Fiction, Kurt Indovina digs into the most notorious murderous clown of them all, real-life serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Speaking to Ryan, Greg, and Lucy from the GameSpot Universe team, he delves into the life and crimes of Gacy, explores how he impacted horror fiction, influenced our fear of clowns.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Online Is Offering Double Rewards On King Of The Hill And Discounts On Arcades

Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer accompaniment to GTA 5, has new rewards and discounts for the week of March 19 – March 25.

In the casino, the Work and Story Missions will also net players double perks, and a new trove of diamonds are also available to carry off in a heist.

New Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Update Will Add Layered Weapons Feature

Get ready hunters, the third Monster Hunter World: Iceborne update will hit March 23 for PS4 and Xbox One. As previously announced, two new monsters, Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang, will be part of the update. In the Developer Diary 5 broadcasted on March 21, the dev team shared a lot more details about what fighting those two monsters will entail, but also revealed that layered weapons will be a new feature.

Layered weapons have been an add-on that Monster Hunter fans have clamored for before (a lot of “Finally!” comments showed up during the broadcast), and it basically means that players can alter the appearance of their weapon without changing its stats. The update on March 23 will roll out phase one of the layered weapons feature, and the second wave will arrive in April.

The first wave will allow you to customize certain weapons, specifically those that have a clear base and attachment to them. Players can swap them out however they want. In April’s second wave, players will be able to change the appearance of unique weapon designs, but only on weapons that can be augmented.

But back to the two new monsters, Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang: They’re both variations of existing monsters Brachydios and Rajang. The normal Rajang only gets golden fur when it’s enraged, but the Furious Rajang will always have golden fur. When the variation gets enraged, its golden fur will sparkle, and get even more vicious than its normal counterpart. The Furious Rajang also doesn’t have a tail, which is different from the normal version. That means when its four legs get hard as rock and impossible to injure during enragement, players will have to attack its head instead of the tail on the normal version. The Furious Rajang will also have a strong pinning attack, and teammates will have to help each other out to get out of its grasp.

The Raging Brachydios is much larger than the normal version and moves a slower pace. However the slime on the monster’s body can now trigger explosions in a wide area. When you attacked the normal Brachydios, the slime on the monster’s body detonated. But in this variation, when you attack the slime-covered monster’s part, the slime will drop onto the ground and then explode. A particularly gnarly new feature is also this monster’s special ability to get to a certain place when requirements are met, and set the entire place on fire. While in this phase of the battle, players can’t use forecasters, can’t use traps, and can’t escape the area.

Part of the March 23 update includes a powerful Banishing Ball for use exclusively in the Guiding Lands. Only quest leaders can use it, and when they do, any monster the Ball is thrown at will disappear from the Guiding Lands. There’s also other updates, like modifications to the Hunter Helper system, armor and charm levels, and a new festival in April. The seasonal event is dubbed the Full Bloom Fest and comes with a very rose-themed special armor. It will run from April 10-7. You can check out the full third title update details on Monster Hunter’s website.

You can also read GameSpot’s Monster Hunter World: Iceborne review if you haven’t checked out the game yet. Our reviewer, Ginny Woo, says, “Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is more of the same, glorious slog for everyone who’s ever been taken down by a fire-breathing facsimile of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and thought, ‘I can’t wait to do that 50 times over.'”

Bleach Spin-Off Burn The Witch Expands The Universe

It’s always interesting to see what a creator does next after their hit series ends. Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach, took the route of publishing a 2018 one-shot, Burn The Witch, and set the new story in an extension of the Bleach universe. Burn The Witch casts two witches, Noel Niihashi and Spangle Ninii, as the protagonists, and they work for the Western Branch of Soul Society in Reverse London.

It was recently announced that Burn The Witch will receive an anime film adaptation this fall, and a new teaser trailer was released on March 20. Studio Colorido will produce the film, and director Tatsuro Kawano will helm it. Burn The Witch will also get a short run in Weekly Shonen Jump at some point during the summer. You can read the Burn The Witch one-shot for free on Viz Media’s website.

Also, if you’ve missed the chatter on Twitter, Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War arc is finally getting an anime adaptation. The Thousand-Year Blood War arc features Ichigo and the gang (the entire Soul Society and a few Espadas, actually) facing off against another megalomaniac villain. This time, it’s Yhwach, the founder of the Quincys and son of the Soul King.

The anime ended on the Fullbring arc in 2012, and with the Thousand-Year Blood War finale, Bleach’s anime will come to a completion. The exact air date isn’t confirmed yet, but the arc is expected to arrive in 2021.
