Monster Hunter World: New Trailer and Beta Details Incoming

More Monsters to Hunter, Another Beta for PS4

Monster Hunter World is coming for PS4 and Xbox One this month, January 26, and Capcom is being pretty transparent. They’re giving us another glimpse into the world and a look at some new monsters to hunt. Thus, we have the Elder Dragons trailer. Strap yourselves, because this one is rather long and epic.

You’ll note at least three new monsters introduced in the trailer. Some terrifying dragons to take on alone or with your buddies. New details pertaining to the beasts were revealed in a press release, the excerpt of which you can find below.


The steel dragon Kushala Daora is a beast with a body covered in metal plates and has the power to keep hunters at bay by generating wind storms around itself. The flame king dragon Teostra is a brutal fiend that spits blazing fire and any hunter who faces this fierce and deadly monster is in danger of being engulfed in a hellish inferno. Another monster introduced in the trailer is Dodogama, a rock-eating wyvern that possesses a unique saliva that causes rock to become explosive, a hazardous mix it will spit at its foes to warn off attackers.

But Capcom didn’t just want to reveal a trailer; the brought news of yet another beta for PlayStation 4 players. It’s not too late to step in and taste that epic Monster Hunter World. The beta will begin on January 18th and end on the 22nd, just a few days before launch day. It will include the monsters from the previous beta: Great Jagras, Anjanath and Barroth. But it will also include the IPs new signature behemoth, Nergigante.

Also, the kind folks over at Capcom wanted to affirm that there will be free post-launch DLC for Monster Hunter World. We will start seeing this in Spring 2018. One of the free confirmed add-ons is none other than popular monster Deviljho. When he’s not devouring players, this brute is busy devouring other monsters. That is to say, players will be hunting new beasts over the course of the year. Not a bad deal, but what are your thoughts? Comment down below.
