Here is a little run down, copy pasted from what I sent to one of my friends:
Lagiacrus was something they wanted to add to MH World. It was in the very first REVEAL TRAILER for the game. But it never got added- they couldn't figure out a way to get it to stop clipping into the environment. Come the DLC, Iceborne, they tried again but STILL couldn't get it to work.
Next game comes around, Rise. They made it their MISSION to try to get Lagiacrus in. A huge portion of the base roster are Leviathans, which is what Lagiacrus is, so it was clear they were working hard on the skeleton.
it was obvious from the get go getting Lagiarcus in was a important to the devs, so much so they made ALL the maps areas that monsters can enter near completely flat, that way there would be no clipping.
Then, Lagiacrus couldn't get added. It was too large, which caused clipping issues despite ALL this. Come the Rise DLC, they try again. Didn't work, they coulden't get Lagiacrus to work properly.
MH Wilds comes around, people are expecting SURELY they will get him in this time, right? Nope. He didnt come with the release, despite almost half the population of the base game being Leviathans. It was obvious Lagiacrus was another major goal on the devs mind.
First title update announced; Mizitsune. A Leviathan. But also one from Rise. No signs of Lagiacrus
