Encouraging LARPing, Capcom have introduced that Monster Hunter: World‘s icy Iceborne expansion won’t arrive on PC till we’re already wrapped up in scarves and mittens, coming our approach this winter after a console debut in September. Yes, it’s unlucky that our model continues to be lagging behind, however isn’t it becoming to be exploring an icy island whereas huddling round your PC for heat? That’s extra IMMERSIVE than any light-up keyboard. Capcom blasted a load of particulars and movies in regards to the enlargement final evening, together with a have a look at a beastie swimming via snow with its horn poking out like a shark’s fin. Nope!
Here’s the wee ‘gameplay reveal’ video from final evening:
I do like how everyone seems to be appearing like this dragon is a fantastical cryptid once they’ve already murdered and gutted via so many different dragons and monsters.
The enlargement will carry new areas to discover, new monsters to hunt, and new strikes and instruments to hunt them with. The Slinger, for instance, can be utilized along with your weapon drawn for combos and different methods. And you’ll get to make use of a Clutch Claw to grapple onto monsters rapidly to biff ’em and “even directly guide the monster momentarily.” Ride that dino.
Cold will clearly be an issue, and we’ll want to decorate up heat and chug scorching drinks to remain protected. And within the game.
Capcom clarify extra about newness in this blog post and oh so very rather more on this developer livestream:
Our guidesman Dave has condensed lots of that into for ease of reading too.
A winter launch may imply Iceborne hits PC as late as March 20th, 2020. Video games are typically disrespectful of astronomical seasons, thoughts, so that they seemingly imply November-January. On consoles it’ll price $40; no phrase on PC worth but.
Speaking of lagging behind consoles, the Witcher crossover event finally started on PC this week. It lets hunters play nearly as good ol’ Geralt of Rivia to hunt a Witcher monster and declare Geralt’s armour, and a time-limited bonus hunt later this month will carry Ciri’s gear too.
