Monster Hunter World

If you're not familiar with the Monster Hunter series, and the upcoming Monster Hunter: World, then let me ask you: Do you enjoy adrenaline-pumping, death-defying boss battles against towering monstrosities? Do you like exploring living, breathing worlds full of fantastic beasts that do more than wait around to be killed by you, the hero? Have you wondered what it would be like to hunt down and slay a dragon, then craft armor and weapons from the scales and bones you scavenge from it? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then I'm surprised you're still reading this and not off pre-ordering Monster Hunter: World.

While Monster Hunter games have garnered a cult following for years, Monster Hunter: World marks the series' foray onto next-gen consoles and promises to be the most visually arresting entry in the franchise. Your role as a monster hunter will be a daunting challenge, but if you use all of the tools at your disposal, including the environment itself, you'll stand a chance. With a fleet at your back and a Palico (cat-buddy) at your side, you might even live to face the elder dragon Zorah Magdaros.
