This gargantuan follow-up rivals the gameplay volume from the original release, and will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, globally on September 6, 2019. A PC release will follow this winter. Several details were revealed during the broadcast including the first look at Monster Hunter World: Iceborne with information on the new icy setting, monsters, gameplay options, purchase and pre-order options for console, and the latest updates for Monster Hunter: World.
