Monster Hunter World is releasing in January

Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter World will be released onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 26th, 2018, though the PC release will come later.

The TGS trailer, shown above, 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.

In addition, Capcom have announced that players who pre-order the game will gain access to some exclusive bonuses and if that was not enough, they have also announced a digital and physical collectiors editions. 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.
