Like Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Tri will have post-release downloadable content. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=22882 Capcom has announced that Wii exclusive Monster Hunter Tri will will have downloadable content following its release in the form of event and arena quests.
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.

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.
