The Witcher will soon be playable in Monster Hunter World

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.
