Apex Rathalos appears to be part of a Rampage hunt, which is a mix between the traditional Monster Hunter game and a tower defense game. Apex monsters, like the Apex Arzuros, are super-strong versions of monsters that sometimes crown these challenges.
Resist the Rampage and get ready to save Vila Kamura!

Title Update Ver. 3.0 was also teased and, although it currently has no launch window, it promises to “introduce additional monsters, as well as an additional ending to the Monster Hunter Rise story arc.”
