TGS 2017: Monster Hunter World Releases January 26th, 2018 Worldwide
Today during Sony's pre-TGS stream, Capcom announced that Monster Hunter: World will release worldwide on January 26th, 2018. The company also detailed more information about the title, such as the new flagship monster Nergigante and a trailer detailing some other as-of-yet unnamed monsters alongside what appears to be Monster Hunter: World's story.
Capcom also detailed that the game will be receiving a Limited Edition release, as well as a PS4 Pro limited edition console in Japan. Here's hoping we at least get the latter of those two over here in the west! At any rate, we've embedded the trailer below. (Update: English Trailer was uploaded, so we replaced our embed!)
Once again, Monster Hunter: World will release worldwide on January 26, 2018 - for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PC release will come at a later date.
Bonus Editions are detailed below. [Editor's note: Bonuses seem to be identical for both North America and Europe, but North American images were not provided]
