Capcom has announced the Monster Hunter World: Iceborn expansion, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the fall of 2019.
Not only is Geralt from The Witcher coming to Monster Hunter: World, but Capcom has also announced an entirely new expansion that is planned for release on consoles in the fall of 2019. Monster Hunter World: Iceborn is set to introduce hunters to new monsters, quests, locales, and gear, including an entirely new narrative experience.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborn
While more details about the content of Monster Hunter World: Iceborn aren’t expected until the spring of next year, we do know that it will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to start. More details about a PC version are still outstanding. The base Monster Hunter: World game will be required to play this new expansion.
Monster Hunter: World Appreciation Fest
In the meantime, the Kulve Taroth Siege, a special event quest which allows up to 16 players in groups of four each to team up towards a common goal, will return on December 20. This time, however, a tougher Arch Tempered version of this colossal monster which yields more powerful rewards awaits hunters.
As special thank you to hunters, Capcom has announced The Appreciation Fest, coming up on the anniversary of the game’s release in January 2019. The Appreciation Fest will include a newly decorated Gathering Hub, specialized equipment that can be obtained in brand new quests and a slew of new anniversary quests for everyone.
Monster Hunter: World Free Trial
For players who have not yet tried Monster Hunter: World, a free trial version of the base game will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting tomorrow, December 11 at 4 pm PST through December 17 at 3:59 pm PST. The preview allows new players to experience quests up to the 3-star level and online multiplayer up to Hunter Rank 4. This will provide plenty of opportunities to try out a variety of quests, craft and upgrade equipment, and any saved progress transfers over to the main game.
