-Stygian... a little bit underwhelming, I'm happy to have it back and about the equipment it may bring, but a subspecies apex-level after killing so many Elders is kinda eh, I hope they give it tons of new stuff otherwise it would be destroyed too soon. This open the possibilities for other monsters in future updates though, stuff like Green Narga, Monoblos, Raging Brachy Seregios etc... may have still chances afterall.

-New Elder... green fire, neat. I see people speculating that it may be a developed Xeno, the head is kinda similar, the green fire gives that "other side" vibe (and Xeno had other side theme in the equipment), still it may just be a close relative to be honest (maybe one of the 5?).

-New region... nice, we all expected that, now the question is who or if there will be a monster unlocked at lv6 or there will be a lv7 tempered exclusive.

Suprised they didn't reveal a siege though.
