^Definitely possible. We likely are going to get another 5-10 special permit hunts against them. Hopefully the last 5 or so include this theme, because its one of the best i've heard in a while.

@.:Xigbar:. The thing about subspecies and MH4 was, that it was the base game that did something like that. Don't get me wrong, I want subspecies back as well. Deviants definitely have a one up on Subs in terms of gameplay definitely, but Subspecies completely outclass Deviants in armor and weapon usage, as well as mixing armor sets. They also, I personally feel, prevent G rank, another rank on top of the hundreds of hours you've likely spent hunting familiar monsters, from feeling stale, as  you have more variety in fighting your favorite monster or a different flavor as to how a fight goes. I will be hoping for their inclusion until someone actually has the game and confirms their hunts to not be included in G rank or HR village.
