New Gameplay Today – Monster Hunter: World
A few weeks back, Capcom held a Monster Hunter: World event in its Osaka offices. We hopped on the nearest plane (it was at the airport) and flew over to check it out. We played the game from the start for about 10 hours, and we returned with a ton of video footage and a whole lot of enthusiasm for the game. Today, Leo, Dan Tack, and I check out an epic hunt against a Jyuratodus. If you're not up on your Monster Hunter: World lore, that's the big mud-fish thing.
We begin our tour with a quick look at the game's Astera hub, which is where you take on quests, craft items, fill your bellies, and do all that other town stuff. After that, our four-person group heads out to the Wildspire Waste to battle Jyuratodus. As you'll soon learn, he's not the only big game that's hanging around in this area.
Look for Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 26. A PC version is due out sometime after that.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
