Monster Hunter World marks the first time a Monster Hunter game hasn’t been on a Nintendo console since 2009. The most popular games in the series came out on the PSP and 3DS, and while they were excellent games, the consoles lacked the technical clout that’ll be provided by Xbox One for Monster Hunter World.

The result of that extra power is that Monster Hunter World looks beautiful, with lush environments, incredible-looking creatures, and a much larger, open game world, with no loading screens between zones on the map.

Monster Hunter World also includes four player co-op. Co-op is drop in, drop-out, and if you’re having trouble taking down a particular monster you can send up a signal flare to call other players to your assistance.

Monster Hunter World is also taking the World part of that title seriously as a global simultaneous release and cross-region online play means that Japanese and Western players can play together for the first time in a Monster Hunter game, which is great, because we sincerely doubt we're going to be able to take any of the monsters they’ve shown so far down on our own. Little help?

Monster Hunter World comes out on Xbox One and PS4 on a yet to be confirmed release date in early 2018.
