About MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD

About this game

It’s time to take control of a hunter and embark on a journey to the new world, as you will face behemoths sprawling open-area world for you to explore. Journey into the world alone or with friends in a four-player co-op to explore the diverse flora and fauna of this strange new land to collect resources and build up your Hunter Rank! Experience this multi-award-winning phenomenal entry to the Monster Hunter franchise published by Capcom.

A Strange New World

Adventure into an unknown world as you set forth on an adventure unlike ever before. The New World is an unexplored land for all hunters, and it is up to you — as a member of the Fifth Fleet — to provide support to the Research Commission. Face Zorah Magdaros, an Elder Dragon the size of a mountain, and help the Expedition study these powerful beasts and why they migrate to the New World every ten years when the Elder Crossing comes around.

Fight Monsters Old and New Alike

Fight against monsters varying in sizes and species, as you’ll face small creatures, such as the pack-minded Jagras, iconic monsters from the Monster Hunter franchise, such as the Rathalos, and work your way up to the gargantuan Elder Dragons, such as Behemoth. Challenges abound, both big and small, for hunters of all kinds.

Hunt Alone or Together

Hunters needn’t fight these creatures alone, as you’ll be able to embark on these journeys with up to three other friends. How to play co-op? It’s as simple as going to the mission board, choosing a Hunter Quest, and then having your friends accept the same one! Fight creatures together, build up your Hunter Rank, and work your way up to the toughest of challenges that Monster Hunter: World has in store for you.

Your Hunter, Your Loadout

With a vast selection of weapons and armour for you to equip, the possibilities are endless. Select one of 14 weapons — Long Sword, Great Sword, Dual Blades, Sword and Shield, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Insect Glaive, Bow, Light Bowgun, and Heavy Bowgun — to venture into battle and slay some of the gigantic monsters of the New World.

Craft, Fight, Upgrade, Repeat

Monster Hunter’s iconic gameplay featuring hunting for parts in order to craft and upgrade your gear is present and better than ever with Monster Hunter World! Start with beginner gear provided by the Fifth Fleet and use the resources present in the New World to create stronger and better ones to face the threats that await you. Craft items from monster parts, venture into more battles, upgrade the gear to fight even stronger foes, and then fight even stronger foes! An addictive gameplay loop.

Use Hunter’s Special Tools

Take advantage of numerous specialised tools that are fit for the job. Use traps and other contraptions to trap and snare your foes, use the Scoutflies to help you track monsters, sling yourself to safety from perilous attacks, and even take your faithful Palico into battle to assist you in battling enemies! The full Hunter loadout.
