Monster Hunter: World is about to get even bigger!

ONE Store Beta Now Available

In a recent developer update, Monster Hunter: World producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced several exciting news relating to the game. The biggest of the announcements is the game’s upcoming expansion — Monster Hunter World: Iceborne!

Watch the trailer for the expansion here:

The trailer for Iceborne showed a group of hunters chasing a Rathalos, only for the monster to escape into a brand-new island of the New World that has yet to be explored. As the title suggests, the island is an icy one, and it should be filled with tons of new monsters. And with more monsters comes even more new gear!

Aside from the announcement, Tsujimoto was mum on other details regarding Iceborne, including the expansion’s release date. Though it was announced that Iceborne will be coming out in Autumn 2019.

If the Autumn 2019 release date for Iceborne is too long a wait, a new collab event was also announced during the developer update to keep you busy. The event will feature none other than Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series. This Witcher event is the latest in Monster Hunter: Worlds various crossovers, including collabs with games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn, Street Fighter, and Final Fantasy XIV.

The Monster Hunter: World X Witcher crossover event will take place in early 2019.
