Monster Hunter World Release Date
September 19, in the year of our Lord 2017
-- Today Capcom confirmed that Monster Hunter: World will be
available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One globally on January 26,
2018. A PC release will follow at a later date. Capcom will also
begin pre-orders today including bonus incentives for the
standard version of the game or the newly announced Digital
Deluxe and physical Collector’s editions.
There are wild and wonderful variety of creatures featured in
the game, from the lizard-like Pukei-Pukei with its extending
tongue, to the terrifying monster Nergigante. The beautiful but
dangerous Coral Highlands stage was also unveiled – don’t stand
around too long gazing at the gorgeous scenery or risk ending up
as monster fodder! Players have a wide variety of gear to assist
them in navigating the fantastical environments in the game,
including the Glider mantle. You can use this to extend your
air-time after a jump and, as seen in the new trailer, in some
areas, you may even be able to catch a lift on a rising wind
draft to quickly reach higher ground.
Players that pre-order Monster Hunter: World in North America on
either Xbox One or PS4 either digitally or at participating
retailers will receive access to special pre-order bonuses,
including the Origin Set Armor and the Fair Wind Charm
talisman*, which offer improved starting defense and offense
stat boosts for the hunter as well as a useful gathering skill.
For those that pre-order any digital version from the PS Store,
they will also receive instant access to a custom PS4 theme.
*Please note that the Origin Set armor and Fair Wind Charm
talisman may be made available through alternative means at a
later date.
The newly announced Digital Deluxe Edition for North America is
MSRP $69.99 and includes the digital game, plus additional
customizable options that can be used in-game: a Samurai Set
skin, three gestures, two sticker sets, plus an extra face paint
and hair style option for the hunter. The PS4 version of the
Digital Deluxe Edition also includes 14 weapon-themed PSN
avatars. The contents for the Digital Deluxe Edition will also
be available for purchase separately on January 26.
