Monster Hunter World’s The Witcher crossover event, which sees players able to hop into the boots of Geralt of Rivia, will finally come to the PC version of Capcom’s acclaimed monster-mashing adventurer on May 9.

The Witcher crossover event previously came to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier in the year, and includes a bunch of single-player goodies, including the Contract: Trouble. This takes place in the Ancient Forest, and is geared towards HR16 solo players. More importantly, it lets you play as Geralt himself, complete with exclusive abilities, side quests, and the chance to square off against the Leshen, a familiar Witcher enemy.

Multiple endings are also on the table, and completing the mission rewards you with various bits and bobs, including poses, titles, and a new gesture. Perhaps the biggest reward is the chance to cobble together Geralt’s armour and the Silver Sword, done so by collecting materials. 

PC gamers will gain access to the multiplayer side of things on May 17, where you’ll be able to tackle the Contract: Woodland Spirit mission. Here, you’ll be scrapping with the Ancient Leshen, and can earn Ciri’s armour set and Dual Blades. Be warned though; it’s aimed at HR50 players, so don’t expect an easy ride.

Here's a trailer to give you an idea of what's in store.
