For fans of Monster Hunter World , the good news just keeps coming. A PR employee from Capcom has now announced that the new content for Monster Hunter World, Iceborne, can compete with the original game. It will be a major expansion. PC players will have to wait a bit longer.
This is the statement: A PR employee from Capcom responsible for Europe and North America announced on Twitter that the new expansion, Iceborne, can match the size of the original game.
Iceborne is a BIG expansion for hunters. She also points out the current opportunity to play Monster Hunter World for free on PlayStation 4.
PC players will have to wait for Iceborne
What we know about Iceborne: The Iceborne expansion will be released on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox One. PC players on Steam will have to wait a little longer.
People have already reacted to reddit with humor and posted this image showing how relieved PC players will be when they can finally play Iceborne in winter 2019.
What players like about the expansion: After the announcement of Iceborne, the individual features were analyzed on social media, especially on reddit:
Hunters are particularly impressed by small details. With Iceborne, players will be able to fire the slinger even while drawing their weapon.
This seemingly delights many players who have fought for hours with monsters in the base game – until now, only users of sword and shield could shoot with the slinger while their weapons were drawn.
These specialists also notice the move improvements with various weapons (via reddit):
- With the great sword, players should be able to execute a charged power shot with the slinger
- Those using dual blades will be able to fire powerful shots while dodging
- A new evasion loading maneuver has been discovered for the light bowgun
Furthermore, Iceborne is set to bring a new area called “Frostfang Highlands”. According to the developers, it will be the largest map ever created for Monster Hunter World. A new story will also be present, set after the base game.
For fans of the franchise, the new “Master Rank” is a highlight, similar to the known G-Rank of the franchise. This was one of the biggest wishes for many regarding the expansion.
Another highlight will likely be the new monsters in Monster Hunter World Iceborne:
