Monster Hunter

Iceborne

Monster Hunter

WHAT THIS MEANS
While it only seemed like a matter of time before Capcom decided to do a crossover between their upcoming
Monster Hunter
movie and
Monster Hunter: World
, fans should not expect this to be the end of it.
Monster Hunter: World
remains hugely popular with previous tie-in DLC featuring characters such as
Aloy
from
Horizon: Zero Dawn
and
Dante
from
Devil May Cry
, it only makes sense that the company would want to drum up some hype for their upcoming cinematic debut.
As for what it could mean for
Monster Hunter: World
, this proves that Capcom still very much has
World
on its mind. With the game’s inclusion in the
PS Plus Collection
that launched with the Playstation 5, servers have seen a bit of a next-gen bump in traffic. While a whole new expansion may not be in the cards, for the almost two-year old game, fans should continue to expect bits of new content to go to add to their Monster Hunt-ing journeys.
