Triston Corbett spoke about Monster Hunter World, due out in January next year. They played a trailer showing off some new monsters and locations, with the fan-favorite hack-and-slash gigantic creatures-action everyone loves.
Corbett spoke about how the new game is going to be the most accessible for fans who may not have played the game before. He discussed some new monsters for the game, and teased some new environments for the game.
There are jungles, mountains, and desert locations that have their own "living, breathing ecosystems," as Corbett referred to it. He explained that monsters will be fighting each other in a "vicious food chain," with some monsters in the wild preying on smaller and weaker creatures.
The game is built for co-operative play, but there aren't going to be separate questlines for single players or co-op players. It is all being designed for players to tackle with each other, though they can play alone if they choose.
