Monster Hunter: World is an open-world action role-playing game where players create their own hunter and Palico sidekick. As part of the Fifth Fleet, the Hunter travels to the New World on orders from the Research Commission, an organization that studies the land from their central command base of Astera. The Research Commission tasks the Hunters with quests to hunt monsters and either capture or slay them for research purposes. By defeating or capturing monsters, player earn monster materials which can be used to craft equipment and weapons styled after the hunted monsters.
Newly introduced in Monster Hunter: World are cloak items called Mantles that provide beneficial effects. The Ghillie Mantle conceals hunters from enemy view temporarily. The effect expires if you perform an attack or take damage.[1]. The Glider Mantle increases jump airtime and grants the power to ride strong winds in various areas as well as making it easier to mount monsters.[2]. The Rocksteady Mantle eliminates damage reactions, prevents wind effects, protects the hunter's hearing, and grants tremor resistance. The Rocksteady Mantle also protects hunters so they receive less damage[3]. The Challenger Mantle prompts monsters to target the hunter more often and makes them easier to lure with the effect expiring after being attacked.[4]
On the offensive side, Hunters can utilize a new item called the Slinger in combat. This wrist-mounted slingshot that allows hunters to fire a grappling hook to traverse or interact with environmental obstacles. The Slinger can be used to fire rocks and other items at monsters.
Gathering and using items in Monster Hunter: World has been streamlined allowing for Hunters to quickly obtain items in the field. Hunters can interact with flora and fauna in various ways, like the Vigorwasps that can be used to recover health or the Paratoads which will produce a paralyzing toxin. New guides known as Scoutflies are used to track monsters. By gathering monster samples on the field, such as drool, mucus, or footprints, Scoutflies hone in on the exact location to monsters. Scoutflies can also be used to guide players to selected areas on the map, such as specific flowers or fauna. Hunters can now hunt freely without being limited to a main objective or questline. Once the quest is complete, Hunters can choose to continue exploring the area via Expedition Mode.
The Hunter's felyne sidekick, the Palico, can interact with other felyne clans, such as the Grimalkynes. By doing so, the Palico can learn the language of small monsters, like Jagras and Kestodon, and befriend them. During hunts, the Palico may befriend a small monster which will then aid the player.
Hunters can register equipment pieces they wish to craft by using the Wishlist. The wishlist displays the equipment's material requirements and can be reviewed at any time, hunters will receive a notification when all the required materials have been obtained.[5]. Charms can be crafted and upgraded by using materials.[6]. Some armor sets possess a unique skill that can only be obtained by wearing enough pieces of the equipment set.[7]. The Handler can make meals for the hunter at the Base Camp by using food items, such as Raw Meat.[8]. She may also give an additional item like Rations. This depends on the items that the hunter uses.
The New World features several large biomes of different climates. The primary settlement is known as Astera, where the fleets of new Hunters and researchers are stationed. The New World is defined by lowlands and coastlines to the south, with a large mountain range extending into the middle of the continent. Once every decade, elder dragons trek across the sea to travel to the New World in a migration referred to as the Elder Crossing.Quests and tasks are divided by the following regions. Some monsters can only be found in specific regions.
Monster Hunter: World features a total of 14 weapons: 11 Blademaster weapons and three Gunner Weapons. Blademaster weapons are melee-focused and rely on close range combat while Gunner weapons are used from a distance. Each weapon has its own distinctive moves, alongside their strengths and weaknesses. Each weapon has its own path of upgrades dependent on specific monster parts.
Monster Hunter: World received "universal acclaim" reviews on Metacritic and was tagged as a "Must-Play" game holding metascore of 90/100 on both PS4[9] and Xbox One.[10] It also got a metascore of 88/100 on PC.[11]
Monster Hunter: World[a] is a 2018 action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom. The fifth mainline installment in the Monster Hunter series, it was released worldwide for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2018, with a Windows version following in August 2018. In the game, the player takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several environmental spaces. If successful, the player is rewarded through loot consisting of parts from the monster and other elements that are used to craft weapons and armor, amongst other equipment. The game's core loop has the player crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone or in a group of up to four players via the game's online multiplayer.
Announced at E3 2017, Monster Hunter: World adopts the series' standard formulas from its older home console roots and recent handheld games to take advantage of the higher processing power provided by modern consoles and computers. Changes made in Monster Hunter: World include creating environmental spaces that are fully connected and removing the "zones" that were necessary for the PlayStation 2 and handheld games, more advanced monster artificial intelligence and physics, a more persistent cooperative multiplayer experience, and a refinement of the game's tutorials and user interface to help with bringing new players into the series. These changes led Capcom to plan for the game's simultaneous release worldwide, since Monster Hunter as a series has generally languished outside of Japan partially due to disparate release schedules. Capcom also opted to support online play between these different geographic regions for similar reasons. The delay for the Windows release was attributed to Capcom seeking to make sure its first foray into the Windows market was optimized for players on computers. By April 2020, updates to the game were synchronized among all platforms.
Monster Hunter: World received critical acclaim upon release, with critics praising how Capcom was able to make the game more accessible to new players and to Western markets, without detracting from the series' core gameplay elements and enjoyable difficulty, and fully taking advantage of the computational capacity of modern consoles to create living ecosystems, with some even calling it the best in the franchise. Monster Hunter: World is the single highest-selling game in Capcom's history, with over 23 million copies shipped by January 2024. A DLC expansion pack, subtitled Iceborne, was released for home consoles in September 2019 and for Windows in January 2020, and reached 10 million sales by December 2022. The next mainline installment, Monster Hunter Rise, was co-developed alongside World and announced for a worldwide release on Nintendo Switch in March 2021, with a Windows version released in January 2022.
Monster Hunter: World is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. Similar to previous games in the series, the player takes the role of a player-created character who travels to the "New World", an unpopulated landmass filled with monsters, to join the Research Commission that studies the land from their central command base of Astera. The Research Commission tasks the Hunter to hunt down and either kill or capture large monsters that roam outside Astera to both protect the Commission and to study the monsters there.[1] The player's character does not have any intrinsic attributes, but instead these are determined by what equipment the character is equipped with. This includes a weapon, selected from the series' fourteen archetypes (such as long sword, bow, or hammer),[2] which then further defines the types of combat moves and abilities the player can use, and pieces of armor, which can lead to beneficial or detrimental combat skills if matched properly. While some basic equipment can be purchased using in-game money, most equipment is built from loot obtained by slaying or trapping monsters, rewards from completing quests, or items gathered while in the field. This creates a core loop of gameplay that has the player fight monsters they can beat to obtain the right loot to craft improved weapons and armor to allow them to face more powerful monsters and the potential for even better equipment.
