Monster Hunter: World weapons trailers show off players’ many options

A trio of trailers for the next “Monster Hunter” game gives fans a look at the options they’ll have on the hunt.

The Facts

Released July 27 by the official Monster Hunter channel, the trailers showcase the different strengths and abilities of light, heavy and technical weapons. Each trailer is narrated with descriptions of each weapon that falls into the broader categories, from a sword and shield all the way up to the Hunter’s Horn.

“Monster Hunter: World” is set for release in early 2018 on Playstation 4 and Xbox One, with a PC version releasing sometime afterward.

Author’s Take

The “Monster Hunter” franchise has always been known for its variety in equipment and weapons, so it’s good to see Capcom putting a heavy focus on this with their previews. Hopefully we’ll get a release date for the game soon.
