The Witcher is coming to Monster Hunter: World along with a huge expansion

‘Iceborne’

Yep, Capcom is teaming up with CD Projekt Red in an upcomingMonster Hunterevent. Geralt is traveling the world it seems after another recent Bandai Namco collaboration!

Announced today with a very effective trailer, Geralt himself fromThe Witcherseries is coming toWorldas part of a free event in “early 2019.” The kicker is that he heralds a new “massive expansion” calledIceborne, also coming at some point next year in the “autumn.” The expansion will bring the much welcome freezing ice biome into the mix, and is part of Capcom’s massive content plan forWorld.

More information on that will come in the spring. Capcom also says that the “Kulve Taroth Siege, a special event quest which allows up to 16 players in groups of four each to team up towards a common goal, will return on December 20.” Finally, a free trial is coming on December 11 that will run through December 17.

While a lot of people (especially old school fans) have a lot of issues withWorld, Capcom is supporting this iteration better than they ever have in the past.Worldhas already gotten a ton of free content and a very well received collaboration withFinal Fantasy XIV— it’s easily the topMonster Hunterin my book at this point.
