Monster Hunter: World

You've got to give it to Capcom - their Monster Hunter: World launched less than a month ago and still destroyed charts both in the US and Japan, climbing to fourth spot in the UK. US spending hit as much as $1 billion dollars in January.

With Monster Hunter: World stealing many a headline these days, Capcom decided to introduce Ryu, surely everyone's beloved character from the Street Fighter series.

Capcom sure aren't keen on no baby steps with Monster Hunter: World as the developer already announced the second part of its Horizon: Zero Dawn event. We now know it starts at the end of February, will be called The Proving and will let you dress up as Aloy.

At a glance, Monster Hunter: World may seem deceptively simple, although in practice - nothing could be further from the truth. A plethora of monsters and weapons alike led many a user to come up with own builds and loadouts, but we believe that one user found a real gem. Could this be the most OP build? Let's see.

Capcom's latest hit, Monster Hunter: World is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with a PC version coming later this year. Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that they are aware of the request to bring the game over to the Switch but the odds of that happening are slim to none.

Fittingly for a game that is the latest incarnation of a series with some years of pedigree, Monster Hunter: World has an old school feel in many ways, somewhat like a traditional MMO. But if you think an MMO isn't your style, then Monster Hunter could still be your thing.

Capcom seem to have struck gold with Monster Hunter World, which is now officially the company's fastest selling title with 6 million copies shipped. The game managed to hit 5 million only three days after it launched on 26 January 2018, and with the PC launch later this year, Capcom are living the dream.
