Monster Hunter World | Release Date and Pre-Order Details
Monster Hunter: World – Official Release Date and Pre-Order Details!
|
Good news, hunters! 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. In addition,
Capcom also released assets including a new trailer for the game showcasing
various new monsters as well as a peek at Astera, the base of operations for
the Research Commission as they explore a new world.
The TGS trailer shows the 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 you might 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 across Europe 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. Please check with your local
retailer regarding which bonuses are available. Those who pre-order any
digital version of the game on PSN will also receive 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 Europe 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 physical collector’s edition
includes a physical copy of the game, voucher for the Deluxe Kit (contains
Samurai Set skin, three gestures, two sticker sets, plus an extra face paint
and hair style option for the hunter), plus an art book, high-quality
flagship monster statue, and soundtrack CD, all bundled in a custom
collector’s box. For European pricing, check with individual retailers.
For attendees of Tokyo Game
Show later this week, please stop by the Capcom booth for a chance to play a
new quest in the Wildspire Waste location.
