Ichinose explained why they needed to introduce the HR cap removal by April 2021. Since players want to fight against new monsters, they will need to increase their HR. To do that, the developers decided that the HR cap removal will happen at that particular month where everyone could have already raised their HR Rank enough.
Aside from that, post-launch monsters that will be introduced. The only know new monster that got revealed was the Chameleos.
