During this year’s PAX West showcase, Capcom laid out some brand new footage of the upcoming massive expansion, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The new footage was captured by YouTube user Tom and shows off a fierce battle with Tigrex, among other interesting footage.
Check out the new footage during PAX West below:
However, the new footage isn’t all that Capcom managed to share. Producer of the game Ryozo Tsujimoto shared a closing message to fans in attendance which, while didn’t reveal exact details, did manage to hype up fans of the series even more. Through the rough translation we understand that more details on the game will be shared before the launch of Iceborne which is set for the end of this week. Ryozo Tsujimoto also stated that this news will excite fans of the series even more than they already are.
We already know that PS4 users will be receiving another Horizon Zero Dawn crossover event for the Iceborne expansion, this time including Aloy from the Frozen Wilds DLC from Horizon, but apparently there’s even more to be revealed.
It was also revealed that a free update will hit Monster Hunter World on September 4 ahead of Iceborne’s launch which will provide all players with the buffed Guardian Armor set. The new upgradeable armor will equip hunters with increased defensive stats as well as additional skills to help rookie hunters tackle the main story line in Monster Hunter World.
Lastly, one final new gameplay feature heading over to Monster Hunter World via the upcoming free update is the Hunter Helper. Essentially, this new feature rewards high ranking hunters for helping out fellow hunters in the field. Those who help out hunters in need will be rewarded with exclusive in-game content , such as Pendants and Trophies.
The new free update is set to hit Monster Hunter World on September 4, 2019 while the Iceborne expansion is slated to release on September 6, 2019 for the PS4 and Xbox One. The PC version of Iceborne will release January 2020.
