Venture into uncharted territory and blistering heat in Wildspire Waste in Monster Hunter: World. Gear up with your fellow hunters to take down the fearsome creatures that’ve claimed this territory as their own. These beasts won’t slay themselves…

After years of releasing games for Nintendo, Monster Hunter Series is finally back to the Sony Home Console.

The subtitle World alludes to many facets of the game’s design changes from past Monster Hunter games: it reflects that the game will have a worldwide simultaneous release, that it will be playing on worldwide servers rather than segmented by region, that the maps are no longer connected zones but wide-open worlds, and that these maps represent living worlds. Capcom opted not to use a numerical title, such Monster Hunter 5, as that would give the impression that players needed to have completed other titles in the series to play this one.

Monster Hunter World is coming to PS4 early 2018.
