The quests will only be posted for limited amounts of time, similar to the model used with Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP. That game saw its DLC support come to an end on April 2, ten months after its North American release.
These quests will feature unique monsters and rewards, allowing players to collect rare items and then use them to upgrade their armor to play through the rest of the game. Events will be posted cyclically, so players will have more than one opportunity to experience them. The event release schedule will be posted on the first Friday of every month.
Monster Hunter Tri releases on April 20 in North America.
