Espinas returned to the Monster Hunter series back in August with the launch of Rise’s Sunbreak expansion, marking the first time the creature had made the roster in a new game since its debut in 2008’s Monster Hunter Frontier 2.0. In its base form, Espinas is a Flying Wyvern capable of paralysis, poison, and fireblight, and while Capcom is yet to reveal how Title Update 2’s new Flaming Espinas variant will differ, there’s a look at the creature in the publisher’s newly revealed teaser trailer below. Capcom previously confirmed Title Update 2 would be launching some time in “late September” - bringing “several other monsters” alongside Flaming Espinas - so it shouldn’t be too long until it’s ready to reveal more. Beyond that, Title Update 3 is due this “winter”, with additional updates continuing into 2023.
