Capcom knows that a bunch of people are stuck at home right now whether it's because they're self-isolating themselves or their workplace has been closed down, so the company released some Monster Hunter World content ahead of scheduled to give them something new to do. An announcement shared through the game's Twitter page said that some Monster Hunter World event quests, including those that pertain to the new Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion, are live now ahead of schedule. Players have around two weeks to complete them, so there's no rush if you can't get to everything right away this weekend.

The announcement about the event quests shared on Twitter didn't explicitly mention the ongoing coronavirus pandemic but rather the effects of the situation that are forcing people to stay at home. Those quests weren't scheduled to go live just yet but are now available as of March 27th.

Hunters, we know a lot of you might be spending more time at home lately, so we decided to push most #MHWorld & #Iceborne Event Quests live starting today, March 27, through April 9. Happy hunting! pic.twitter.com/5zgIYrwaJr
