The Digital Deluxe Edition includes additional emotes, stickers, one face paint, and even a hairstyle. That edition also offers players a Samurai Set of armor. A physical Collector’s Edition is also available including the items of the Digital Deluxe Edition and other items. An art book, soundtrack, statue, and more are part of the Collector’s Edition.
Like other titles in the franchise, players can expect to track and hunt down monsters threatening the area. With access to 14 different weapons, players can choose the way they defeat these creatures. Players can wield weapons like the Hammer, the Long Sword, the Gunlance, and many more. Traps, mantles, and the Slinger also aid in combat giving players a way to surprise their targets.
As the Inquisitr reported, Monster Hunter: World will be the first in the franchise to feature cross-region co-op. Players from all over the world will be able to hunt together so long as they are on the same type of platform. The game will launch in all regions in January on PS4 and Xbox One giving all players a chance to start their adventure together. Monster Hunter: World features co-op for up to four players simultaneously.
