3. Mantles
A new addition to Monster Hunter World are the use of mantles – essentially “cloaks” that players can utilize in battles, each with their very own unique abilities, specialties, and benefits. This can indefinitely change the way playing with friends work as each member can specialize in a certain fighting style not only based on their weapon or armor, but also with the mantle they equip. Whether you want to be a more aggressive or defensive fighter, mantles are sure to help with shaping your ideal play style.
4. Character and Palico Customization
If there’s anything more exciting than the actual gameplay within a game, it’s the character customization and creation of who will represent you in-game. While character creation and customization isn’t a new feature in Monster Hunter World, there will be an insane amount of detail that players can edit that is unlike any other past Monster Hunter game. In addition, Palicoes play a major role in Monster Hunter World allowing you to customize your own Palico companion to your liking.
5. Finally in HD
One of the most exciting features for Monster Hunter World is its HD feature, which is truly a first for the franchise (not counting MH3U on the WiiU). One of the bigger letdowns for the past Monster Hunter games is that its graphical capabilities always seemed dated, especially the most recent ones being on handhelds with smaller screens. Its HD capabilities are also accompanied by a home console which the previous home console Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, was on the WiiU and 3DS that still wasn’t utilizing the true HD capabilities that were available at the time.
