The hit animated series was renewed for 70 more episodes earlier in May following a delay, which was reportedly due to overlong contract negotiations with Adult Swim's parent company Turner.

Monster Hunter World Update 4.0 Adds New Elder Dragon
Monster Hunter World's latest free update, 4.0, is now out and it adds a new Elder Dragon, among a variety of gameplay changes.
Per Capcom's blog post, players can now take on the Empress of Flame, Lunastra, a returning Elder Dragon who has appeared in past Monster Hunter titles.
Lunastra is more aggressive than her male counterpart Teostra, with both able to fight side-by-side. Lunastra can also easily alter the environment, and teamwork is essential when trying to defeat her.
Taking down Lunastra will net players rare materials which can be used to craft special armor and weapons. These materials can also be combined with those from Nergigante and Xeno'jiiva, among other monsters.

“They’re very very strict. It’s reached a crazy level this year," Coster-Waldau said. "We actually get the scripts, and then when we’ve shot the scene — and we only have it digitally — and then when you’ve done the scene, it just vanishes. It’s like Mission: Impossible. 'This will self-destruct.'”
