On February 8th, XBox One and PlayStation 4 Monster Hunter World players will get to try out the Geralt of Rivia crossover content, though PC players will have to wait an indeterminate amount of time. The announcement was made through the Monster Hunter Twitter, but without any reference to what that content will include.

Capcom has released a new video that showcases a collaboration between Monster Hunter: World and the Assassin’s Creed franchise. While we already knew that The Witcher crossover content is to arrive with the Iceborne expansion in late 2019, the Assassin’s Creed content comes as a bit of a surprise. The Assassin’s Creed collab will be available through January 10th for console players and will come to PC “at a later date”.

From now through December 17th, XBox One and PlayStation 4 players can try out Monster Hunter World for free. The trial edition allows players to try missions up to three stars in difficulty and try a variety of basic weapons. In addition, those who choose to purchase MHW will find that all progress from the trial version will be retained in the full game.

CD Projekt Red and Capcom have announced a crossover event between The Witcher and Monster Hunter World. The new content will be arriving for PlayStation 4 and XBox One in early 2019, with the PC version coming along sometime after. Players will “take on the mantle of Geralt of Rivia” and trot off along a series of Witcher-inspired quests. Each quest offers players “unique gameplay” that blends RPG elements of The Witcher with the systems in MHW.

Monster Hunter World is providing its players with new reasons and incentives to get into the game thanks to the arrival of the Winter Star Event. The “Winter Star Fest” sees the Celestial Pursuit decked out in holiday trimmings including icicle lights, snowcats, and folks decked out in seasonal attire. Nearly all special Event Quests from the past are also available for the duration and players will be able to “get the materials and equipment” they’ve missed & score new items as well.

On November 22nd, the PC version of Monster Hunter World will be updated to bring Lunastra into the game. She is a rare Elder Dragon “that litters the air with hot blue dust”. The Lunastra update is the fourth major content expansion to MHW and also arrives with a number of technical updates alongside the new content to explore.
