\n*1: See Product Details for region availability<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The Monster Hunter<\/em> series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. The series has sparked a social phenomenon known as the "Monster Hunter Craze" by introducing a new kind of communication style for players through cooperative play focused on hunting monsters with their friends. Since the first Monster Hunter<\/em> title made its debut 14 years ago in 2004, the series has attracted a dedicated fan base, and overall grown into a mega-hit with cumulative sales of more than 46 million units worldwide as of February 9, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n

Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/span> is the latest entry in the series and is the first new Monster Hunter<\/em> title for home consoles in nine years. Players step into the role of a researcher, whose team travels to an unexplored, new continent and become hunters. This game offers significant innovations to the series, including seamless transitions between map areas as well as smooth, on-the-fly actions and online co-op with players from around the globe. What’s more, in order to further build upon its fan base both in Japan and in markets overseas, this is the first title in the series to be given a global simultaneous launch. As a result, after garnering critical acclaim from the international press and delighting players the world over, Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/span> has shipped 6 million units, becoming the fastest Capcom title to reach this milestone in company history.<\/p>\n\n\n

Beginning in the spring of 2018 Capcom plans to hold qualifying events in seven areas across Japan leading up to the Monster Hunter: World<\/span> Kariou Playoffs, which will determine the top hunter in the country. What’s more, Capcom will roll out further cross-industry initiatives to increase long-term brand value and capture an even wider fan base, such as with a Hollywood film adaptation of the series and the Monster Hunter: The Real attraction currently running at Universal Studios Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
