Capcom has released new content for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, including DLC and a free update that adds a fresh challenge for players who have already seen the credits roll.
The new expansion, titled Additional Side Story: Rudy, is available now for $9.99 and centers on Rudy, the Royal Felyne, and explores the history of his ancestors. The story takes an unexpected turn when Rudy crosses paths with Navirou, the legendary Felyne from the original Monster Hunter Stories who was credited with saving the world. Players can also expect to encounter Nergigante, a powerful Elder Dragon, during the adventure.

Players who purchased the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe Editions of the game already have access to the DLC at no additional cost. Alongside the paid expansion, Capcom also released a free “Royal Monsters” update. The update adds a Hard difficulty option to the Final Battle, which is only accessible to players with a completed save file. Clearing that mode on Hard unlocks Royal Monster versions of nearly every creature in the game, including Invasive Monsters and Calamitous Elder Dragons, for those looking for more to do after finishing the main story.

Both the DLC and the free update are available now, with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection currently out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
