Lunastra comes to the PC version of Monster Hunter: World on November 22
Just weeks after the previous Kulve Taroth update to the PC version of Monster Hunter: World, Capcom has announced another major addition, introducing a new event and more graphics options to the game.
The elder dragon 'Empress of Flame, Lunastra' can be fought starting on November 22. She is a companion of Teostra, only even more aggressive and dangerous. You can check out more of Lunastra and her related equipment set in the original PS4 version update post.
The two major graphics option additions in this update are Depth of Field and Vignette Effects toggles, where players can adjust visual focus and shading of screen edges. Keyboard configuration settings have also been tweaked.
Below are the update notes from Capcom. PC players can also look forward to the Devil May Cry collaboration event this weekend on November 16.
