Mr. Tsujimoto also reiterated that the game’s console launch will be followed by a number of free updates—in addition to their announcement that Monster Hunter World won’t feature any loot boxes—adding new monsters, and telling fans, “you’ve got lots to look forward to.”
I unfortunately missed the Monster Hunter World December 22-25th Beta, however Monster Hunter Ultimate was one of my favorite games on 3DS and one I’ve logged hundreds of hours into. The more I see about Monster Hunter World, the more it looks like an amazing addition to the series.
Hopefully a release across PS4 and Xbox One will bolster Capcom’s confidence in releasing Monster Hunter in the west. Monster Hunter World releases January 26th, 2017.
