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.
