Of course, this has been surpassed and it is even before the game’s expansion — Monster Hunter World: Iceborne — has come to PC. The expansion released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September and brings players to a new region of the game's world known as Hoarfrost Reach. It’s a chilly expedition, and the extreme conditions affect stamina and visibility. Velkhana, the Banbaro, the Beotodus and the Nargacuga all populate the region, and its ecosystem will begin to encroach on the base game’s world.
Monster Hunter World is out now for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
