The Witcher‘s Geralt of Rivia will soon be playable in Monster Hunter World, CD Projekt Red and Capcom today confirmed.
“The collaboration sees Monster Hunter: World players take on the mantle of Geralt of Rivia — a professional monster slayer equipped with superhuman strength and reflexes — and has them take on a series of Witcher-inspired quests. These offer a unique gameplay experience blending RPG mechanics of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter: World’s game systems.,” CD Projekt Red said in a press release.
Doug Cockle, the English voice of Geralt throughout The Witcher franchise, will return to voice Monster Hunter: World‘s free update. Expect to play as Geralt in early 2019 on Xbox One and PS4, with the update to follow at a later time on PC.
Moreover, Capcom confirmed details of Monster Hunter: World Iceborne, an expansion expected sometime around April or May 2019. Again, the content will head to Xbox One and PS4 first and PC second.
“The content-rich Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will feature new quest ranks, locales, monsters, moves and gear in addition to a full narrative experience that continues on from the ending of Monster Hunter: World,” Capcom detailed.
“The Monster Hunter: World base game is required for the expansion and is currently available across consoles and PC. More information on the expansion will be shared next spring.”
Monster Hunter: World is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
