Monster Hunter World
Dev. and Pub. Capcom
Release Date: Jan. 26
Available on: PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC
The premise of Monster Hunter World (MHW) is simple—kill monsters, use their hides to make better weapons and armor, and kill more monsters. The methods of crafting and fighting in this series is a timeless classic, but the arrival of Monster Hunter World is finally bringing true high definition to the game for the first time. This includes even larger maps with smooth transitions between zones, and established co-op and worldwide play for all players. Get ready for a total of 14 useable weapon types, a new “slinger” tool and plenty of quests and challenges to overcome. (Nicole Potter)
