New Weapon:
Misaomushi Cane: launches insects, which can give your character status boosts.
Not sure on the cat cannon combo yet.
Edit:
Yet anoter new weapon has been added to the lineup. Looks like a longsword but shorter, possibly a duel weapon. My votes for an axe with a powerup simular to the hammer.

New Status Effect:
Kyouryuu virus: When full blown, the virus blocks a players ability to regenerate. Theres an added critical hit bonus if the player can land enough blows before the gauge fills.
Edit:
The virus is not limited to one monster. Also It would seem you can spread the virus among other monsters. Debunking my earlier tigrex sub species comment.

Traveling Caravan:
In the latest info released, your caravan travels from one village to another. Each terrain with their own to call home. Also your carravan will act as base camp on quests.
