What Is Monster Hunter: World?
Monster Hunter: World is an upcoming action-adventure game that made its debut at E3 2017. While it was revealed at the Sony E3 press conference the title will not be a PlayStation exclusive and will launch on the Xbox One and PC.
Monster Hunter: World is an open-world, action and adventure game and like previous iterations, the player takes the role of a Hunter. The players are tasked with hunting down and either killing or capturing a large monster that roams outside the central base to study them.
The title will feature much larger maps, seamless transitions between zones in the map. It will also feature a four-player online co-op mode, which will also allow players worldwide to play together, a first in the series.
Additionally, in the full version of Monster Hunter: World, PS4 players will be able to play as the lead character Aloy from the 2017 title Horizon Zero Dawn.
Monster Hunter: World is set to release worldwide on Jan. 26 for PS4 and Xbox One. The game will only be available for PS4 in Japan.
