Monster Hunter World Releases
SAN FRANCISCO – Jan. 26, in the year of our Lord 2018
– Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video
games, released Monster Hunter: World™ for PlayStation®4
computer entertainment system and the family of Xbox One devices
including Xbox One X today, making this the first global
simultaneous release for the 40 million unit-selling action RPG
series. A PC release will follow in Fall 2018. In Monster
Hunter: World, players will take on larger-than-life monsters in
a variety of vast living, breathing ecosystems either solo or
with up to three other hunters via online co-op, now with both a
global player pool and mid-quest drop-in functionality for the
first time in the series.
In Monster Hunter: World, follow the journey of the elder
dragons as they begin their once a decade migration across the
sea to a land known as the New World in an event referred to by
inhabitants as the Elder Crossing. As part of the Guild’s
Research Commission, players must embark on a grand journey to
this massive, mysterious land and uncover the secrets behind
this phenomenon. As hunters set out on their quests, the
Commission’s sights are set on Zorah Magdaros, a colossal elder
dragon that rises from the earth like a volcano.
The series’ rewarding skill-based progression and robust
crafting system is at the heart of the game. With the most
accessible and seamless gameplay experience in the series to
date, players can take on quests to slay increasingly more
challenging and dangerous monsters in the food chain in order to
earn materials that can be used to craft stronger weapons and
armor with unique abilities based on their fallen foes. The
landscape and its diverse inhabitants play a critical role
during the hunt as players can strategically use the surrounding
environment and wildlife to their advantage. Hunters can now
move freely across map areas and use their cunning to draw a
monster into a tangle of vines and unleash a flurry of attacks
while it’s vulnerable, or lure it into a more fearsome
creature’s domain to encourage a territorial face-off that
yields massive damage to the target.
Monster Hunter: World will continue to support the community
with a bevy of free post-launch content, including PlayStation®4
exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn™ collaboration event quests that
will let players earn special materials that can be forged into
unique themed equipment. Hunters can see their Palico companions
look like a machine from Horizon Zero Dawn through quests
available starting today through February 8th. The young machine
hunter Aloy also comes to life in Monster Hunter: World with her
bow and full armor set through quests available from February
28th through March 5th. In addition to special event quests, the
first major title content update will be available in Spring
2018, which will add the fan-favorite Deviljho monster and more.
