Capcom can do some things right, it seems? When rumours started swirling regarding Monster Hunter: World, everyone expected the absolute worst – but the game’s shaping up to be one of the highlights of 2018, without a doubt. And just in case you were worried that there may be a catch waiting around the corner, the publisher’s now confirmed that despite the switch to the PlayStation 4, the title will boast free DLC as has been the case with previous entries.
“We will continue to release free quests as we always have,” producer Ryozo Tsujimoto told Polygon at Gamescom 2017. In fact, the PS4 may give the team additional freedom to experiment with post-release support: “On portable, you are not always online, so you have to have a system in place where people will download the quests or data when they are at home then play when they are out. Now with the console, we can rely on you being online whenever you’re on.”
Before you start worrying about always online DRM, we think Tsujimoto’s referring to the possibility of, say, time limited quests – like, where you’d have a specific window to complete a particular mission. Oh, and if you’re worried that Capcom’s going to ship half a game and rely on DLC to pad out the rest: “We don’t want to let any users down who are used to Monster Hunter being a great, meaty experience,” he concluded.

This just keeps sounding better and better. Day one!
@Splat
Agreed squire, this looks just incredible. I am really excited as I have never played a Monster Hunter title as I don't like hand held gaming.
The more I see, the more impressed I become, this will be the 1st online title I have played I more than 12 months.
My only worry with this game is that I have a real problem killing animals in video games, I am such a wuss that the sound of a yelping dog will make me turn off a game 🤣🤣
I just watched a stream where a beastie was limping after getting a hiding and I got terrible pangs of sympathy for it....i am not sure if I have it in me to kill these animals 😂😂
Great. If only multiplayer would be free as well... :/
Good, it seems resident evil and monster hunter team is great again this gen
The fighting game team is still a mess though.
@Lovespuds Yeah I know how you feel, I'm the same way sometimes. These monsters get no sympathy from me though. If you knock me around, you're going down.
@Fooligan
You are more of a badass than I buddy 🤣
Seriously, this T-rex was sleeping in a bid to recover and looked so peaceful, minding its own business....I am gonna struggle, I can tell hahahaha
Stop making me want this, Capcom!
@Lovespuds That's the way my sister is. First time she killed an Aptonoth in MH4U and it collapsed to the ground and started twitching, she was done playing. She's still excited for MH Stories, though, which has much more cartoonish violence.
I wonder what the character creation is like... I hope its not as basic as the ones in the previous games.
@Lovespuds Monster Hunter is not for you if you don't like murdering animals — even if they are fictional ones.
I hope one of the DLCs is Assassin themed......o_o
Not surprising, but it's great to get it confirmed that it's free.
I want this out now!
Nice, that was one of my biggest concerns.
@SuperSilverback Based on their previous costume themed DLC, i'd say it might be in the cards
Kratos or Aloy would be more fitting though....
@RedMageLanakyn - I would pay for an Aloy costume theme.
@get2sammyb
It looks so great though, i might have to man up. Perhaps I can pretend they are all evil, Nazi dinosaurs....whatever it takes to make it more palatable 🤣🤣
I hope this game looks as fun as it does when you gotta play solo
@Lovespuds Or you just stand back and have the monsters duke it out.
