Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0
Monster Hunter Rise will be getting a new free update on April 28, featuring returning elder dragons and other monsters to hunt.
Apex Monsters
Version 2.0 will give you an option to defeat Apex Monsters such as Apex Rathalos and Apex Diablos. The free title update will also remove the hunter rank cap, and you can take on new quests that can increase your Hunter Rank. Increasing your Hunter Rank will unlock the option to defeat monsters included in the Version 2.0 update.
Elder Dragons
Aside from Apex Monsters, Capcom will also add returning Elder Dragons in the game. In Version 2.0, Teostra, Kushala Daora, and Chameleos will be available. All of these Elder Dragons first appeared in Monster Hunter 2, and defeating them will let you farm their armor as well. Magnamalo will also appear during Rampage Quests after the Title Update.
Monster Hunter Rise DLC Pack 2
Aside from the free Title Update, you can also buy a Paid DLC to add gestures and hairstyles for your character. You can also get the voices of Fugen and Minoto for your Hunter. Below are the cosmetics you can receive as part of this bundle:

If you want to edit your Hunter’s appearance, you can use the character Edit Vouchers included in the paid DLC. You can get your first Character Edit Voucher for free if you visit the Nintendo eShop.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Aside from the Monster Hunter Rise Update, we also got a new trailer for the upcoming game, Monster Hunter Stories 2. The trailer shows the return of characters from the previous game. Monster Hunter Stories 2 will have a turn-based fighting system like the previous game with the addition of the attack-type mechanic. Monster Hunter Stories 2 will be available on July 9, 2021. If you have both the Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2, you can link up your save and get a Kamura Garb Layered Armor for both of your characters.
