After its surprise reveal during Sony’s 2017 E3 presentation, the Monster Hunter series is finally making the jump back to PlayStation consoles since 2006 with Monster Hunter World. The series, which has become a cultural phenomenon around the world, has been pretty synonymous with Nintendo handheld systems for the past twelve years but now fans can join the hunt in this massive world full of monsters!
Being exclusively released on the PlayStation 4, longtime Monster Hunter fans or those interested in the hunt can get a taste of the action this weekend when the beta goes live for all PlayStation Plus subscribers. Featuring three quests to tackle in two sprawling environments, players can hunt down giant monsters with a choice of 14 different weapons and have a chance to score “bonus items” when the game launches in January.
