Members of Monster Hunter: World’s development team, such as Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, will appear during the May 9th broadcast. For now, what specifically will be revealed in the broadcast remains under wraps. However, there’s a strong possibility the long-awaited Iceborn expansion will receive concrete details.
The paid expansion, which is due out this Fall, will be set after the events of the core experience and takes place in a new region. A few bits of information were teased about Iceborn during a livestream in December 2018. In addition to new story content and a fresh locale, Iceborn will introduce brand-new monsters, a quest rank, and more. A solid Fall release date has not yet been unveiled.
Since its launch in early 2018, Monster Hunter: World has consistently received new content to keep players regularly engaged. Some of the most recent additions also count as its most ambitious, as is the case with The Witcher 3 crossover event. Capcom’s and CD Projekt RED’s partnership to bring Geralt of Rivia into the world of Monster Hunter allowed players to track new monsters and earn a number of special items.
In addition to the critical acclaim, Monster Hunter: World has also been quite the commercial success. As of early 2019, the title had exceeded 11 million copies in shipments across its console and PC releases.

I'd Eat These 5 Monster Hunter World Monsters
-
Mosswine - Pork Chops
Why wouldn’t you want to eat a Mosswine? They even take you to bunches of mushrooms so that you have a side to go with their porky goodness. I’d feel a little bad eating one after it’s picked out what it goes well with, but a Mosswine would make for a great set of porkchops once it’s been cleaned and prepared – you don’t want to eat any of its moss, after all!
Porkchops, mushrooms, and perhaps a few herbs from your journey come together to create a hearty meal, and one that’ll reinvigorate you to go back out on your monster slaying adventures.
-
Anjanath - BBQ Ribs
Anjanath’s short little arms may not be willing to give much, but he has a massive body. That means that Anjanath can provide plentiful ribs! What goes good with ribs? BBQ sauce. You know that the Handler likely has an excellent BBQ sauce recipe, because her love for food knows no bounds. Whilst this would be a simple meal of endless stacks of ribs coated in a warm, smoky BBQ sauce, you’ll not be left unsatisfied. That meat will fall right off the bone and honestly readers, I’m at risk of dribblin’ right now.
-
Lavasioth - Chili-coated Fish
Monster Hunter: World doesn’t offer many options in terms of seafood, but the fiery Lavasioth could provide fish food with a bit of a kick. Sure, it doesn’t come from the sea of water, but it comes from a sea of lava! You can guarantee it’ll be hot when it reaches your plate, and you might find going to the toilet to be a bigger challenge than facing down any monster. What people would do for food, eh?
Give me that fish fillet with a chili coating, chili oil, and a jug (or several) of water to wash that hot inferno down. This is a dish for those Fivers who think that they could eat even the hottest food, but the Hunter’s Guild and Research Commission team don’t take responsibility for those brave – or foolish – enough to try it out.
-
Rathian - Beef Bowl
You know what Rathians have that not many other monsters have? Eggs. They lay eggs, and they’re massive. You don’t even need to carve the Rathian to create a good meal with what it has to offer, but shredded beef on a bed of rice with egg cracked on top sounds pretty darn great, doesn’t it? This is Monster Hunter, so of course the amount of rice and beef has to be comparable to the size of Rathian’s eggs. Maybe Yu Narukami of Persona 4 fame could tackle such an endless beef bowl, as he’s tackled the meat dimension once before and come out on top. Anybody else? Who knows?
-
Kulve Taroth - Golden Feast
The Kulve Taroth is the big one. A feast fit for a king or queen. She can’t be slayed right now, but you can only imagine the gold-lined meal that she’d provide once she’s finally taken down. Food with gold in the ingredients are considered to be delicacies, and Kulve Taroth’s gold plating would accompany an insane platter of meat. It’s the largest creature in the game, so it’s suitable that its meal is nigh-impossible to eat in its entirety.
