Capcom Unveils New Trailer for MONSTER HUNTER WORLD: ICEBORNE
Capcom is getting ready for E3 by releasing a new trailer for the expansion to Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. This makes me really want to try getting back into Monster Hunter. The trailer focuses on the story of the new DLC and has plenty of cinematics, but it does also feature what appears to be some gameplay footage without the UI.
“Picking up from the end of the storyline in Monster Hunter: World, Iceborne has players joining forces with the Research Commission once again to explore the undiscovered new land of Hoarfrost Reach, which will be the largest map in the game. Following an unusual sighting of Legiana from the Ancient Forest, the team journeys across the waters to a new locale with a frigid climate covered in snow and ice. As pioneers, the group soon sets up a new base camp in Hoarfrost Reach called Seliana, which serves as a warm haven with resources to prepare them for the challenging quests that await.”
Some of the new monsters from Hoarfrost will include the Shrieking Legiana, which can freeze the air around it, as well as the Tigrex. Fans will also notice new weapon combinations and features becoming available to them as well.
You can pre-order Iceborne from your favorite retailers including digitally for about $40. For $10 more, you can get the Deluxe Kit DLC as well that features some cosmetic items. Of course, if you’re new to Monster Hunter World, you can get the Master Edition which will include the base game and the expansion for only $60.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be available on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox with a PC release scheduled for later this winter. Since this is an expansion, you will need Monster Hunter World in order to play.
