FEATURES
 Welcome to the new World: Taking on the role of a hunter, players are tasked with going on a
research expedition to a newly discovered continent known only as “new world” as they
venture on quests to discover more about this mysterious land.
 Living and breathing ecosystem: Utilize the surrounding environment and wildlife to your
advantage. For example, pit monsters against one another to lure the main target creature to
the right place, but be careful not to become hindered by the hazards they present.
 Global simultaneous release: For the first time in the Monster Hunter series the latest title will
release within the same launch window and unite hunters across the world with cross-region
cooperative play options.
 Online drop-in multiplayer: When the battle is too daunting to take on single-handedly, hail
up to three other hunters to assist during quests by sending up a SOS flare to a worldwide
server full of potential teammates.
 Hunt to craft new gear: Defeat monsters and collect loot from fallen foes to craft equipment
and weapons styled after the monsters that have been slain. Selecting the right loadout can
help exploit enemy weaknesses to gain an advantage in battle.
 Master the beasts: A variety of ferocious creatures inhabit the new world landscape including
the series mainstay Rathalos and the all new Anjanath. Players can mount the monsters with
the dynamic riding mechanic, allowing them to travel along the monster’s body and deliver
locational damage.
 Seamless gameplay: Players and monsters can move from one map area to another freely and
without loading screens whilst gameplay also dynamically transitions between night and day.
