Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/span> for the PlayStation®<\/sub>4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One*1<\/sup> is scheduled to launch worldwide in early 2018, with a PC release*2<\/sup> to follow at a later date.
\n*1: Xbox One version available in North America and Europe only; *2: PC version release date will be announced at a later date.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n

The Monster Hunter<\/em> series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. The series has sparked a social phenomenon known as the "Monster Hunter Craze" by introducing a new kind of communication style for players through cooperative play focused on hunting monsters with their friends. Since the first Monster Hunter<\/em> title made its debut thirteen years ago in 2004, the series has attracted a dedicated fan base, and overall grown into a mega-hit with cumulative sales of more than 40 million units worldwide as of March 31, 2017.<\/p>\n\n

Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/span> is the latest entry in the series, and will be the first new Monster Hunter<\/em> title for home consoles in nine years when it is released in 2018. In the game, players step into the role of a researcher, whose team travels to a new continent and becomes hunters as they explore an unknown land. The title features seamless transitions between areas as well as smooth on-the-fly actions, "survival tools" that allow new levels of freedom in hunting, and the ability to drop-in to join quests that are already underway during online multiplayer. Also, there will be special content that is unique for the PlayStation®<\/sub>4 version, the details of which will be announced soon. The game is currently in development, and scheduled to launch in early 2018.<\/p>\n\n

Moreover, Capcom is working to maximize the value of the brand in-line with the company’s Single Content Multiple Usage strategy, which includes the animated TV show Monster Hunter Stories RIDE ON<\/em>, currently airing to positive reviews on the Fuji Network System in Japan, a Hollywood film in the works and the Monster Hunter Orchestral Concert Shuryo Music Festival 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
