In Monster Hunter: World players take on the role of a hunter embarking on a transcontinental excursion into an untamed land called the New World. It’s a world filled with gigantic monsters within a dangerous yet vibrant ecosystem.

Hunters wield one of 13 different weapons, each with distinctive upgrades, styles and strengths as they take on increasingly more difficult missions and hunts.

Up to four hunters can join together via online co-op, with easy drop-in multiplayer features including friends lists and guilds.
