Update: Notice Regarding Recent Bugs
Monster Hunter: World - MHW_CAPCOM
The following bugs have been fixed in a patch released on Wednesday, May 29 at 00:00 a.m. UTC.

- Fixed an issue where Arch-tempered Kulve Taroth's resistance parameters for abnormal statuses was lower than on other platforms. These parameters have been adjusted to match the intended parameters. As a result of this fix, Arch-tempered Kulve Taroth is more resistant to abnormal status attacks after being inflicted two times, increasing the difficulty of the siege.

- Fixed an issue where certain sound effects would not play when using the Azure Star Blade or Azure Star "Dragon Dance" long swords.

- Fixed an issue where, in Advanced Graphics Settings, the 'Variable (Prioritize Framerate)' option under Image Quality would appear grayed out in certain instances, even if the option was selectable.

We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused.

The latest version of MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD is revision number 167589.
You can verify the version number in the top-left corner when you launch the game

Monster Hunter: World Ancient Leshen how to fight it, what is its weakness
Monster Hunter: World - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dave Irwin)

Monster Hunter: World has a couple of crossover events, but the most ambitious puts us in the shoes of Geralt of Rivia as he hunts down the monster that transported him and a Nekker to the forest. This turns out to be the Leshen who has taken up residence in the Ancient Forest and disturbed the natural order. You’ll therefore need to put it down.

Those new to hunting monsters, or if you just need to find a particular monster guide to get up to Hunter Rank 16 – needed to start this quest – should head over to our [cms-block] hub for a plethora of guides.

Capcom: Devil May Cry 5 "successfully reinvigorated brand"
Monster Hunter: World

Devil May Cry 5 "successfully reinvigorated" the series, Capcom has said.

Capcom shipped 2m copies of the action game, it confirmed in a financial report. Shipped doesn't mean sales to customers, but Capcom stressed Devil May Cry 5, alongside Resident Evil 2, had "exceeded expectations".

Devil May Cry 5 is the first "mainline" entry in the series for over 10 years, and follows Ninja Theory's excellent but, according to Capcom, non-mainline DmC: Devil May Cry, which came out in 2013.

You can be Iron Man or One Punch Man in Monster Hunter: World now
Monster Hunter: World

There are Monster Hunter: World mods that make the game a bit more convenient, giving you more information on monster health or highlighting items to make them easier to pick up. Then there are the actual important mods, like the one that turns Nergigante into Thomas the Tank Engine, or these mods, which replace your hunter with comic book characters. Why be a normal hunter when you could be Iron Man, equipped with Thor's hammer and Captain America's shield for good measure?

This mod, called "I' m iron man" (I love that unnecessary space) comes in a few pieces. There are male and female Iron Man armor variants, a skin replacing the sword and shield weapon Grand Barong, and another weapon reskin that turns some Kulve Taroth silver weapons into a pair of Infinity Gauntlets.

I was pretty into modder crimsonfaust's Iron Man mod until I saw their One Punch Man mod, which looks exactly the right amount of stupid to be a great mod. If you're not familiar with One Punch man, all you need to know is that he's a normal guy who did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and ran 10 kilometers every day, and then got so strong he can destroy anything in a single punch.

This mod makes you look like the wonderfully dopey One Punch Man, though it does not, I need to point out, make you KO monsters in a single hit.

Still, it's pretty great. Here's another video of someone using the mod, punching monsters into submission.

If neither comic book man is quite what you're looking for, don't forget you can also play MHW as Geralt of Rivia in a special quest right now.

Monster Hunter: World's Iceborne expansion coming to PC this winter
Monster Hunter: World - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice O'Connor)

Encouraging LARPing, Capcom have announced that Monster Hunter: World‘s icy Iceborne expansion won’t arrive on PC until we’re already wrapped up in scarves and mittens, coming our way this winter after a console debut in September. Yes, it is unfortunate that our version is still lagging behind, but isn’t it fitting to be exploring an icy island while huddling around your PC for warmth? That’s more IMMERSIVE than any light-up keyboard. Capcom blasted a load of details and videos about the expansion last night, including a look at a beastie swimming through snow with its horn poking out like a shark’s fin. Nope!

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne PC release date, Velkhana, Tigrex's Roar
Monster Hunter: World - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dave Irwin)

With the brand new Witcher update finally hitting PC this week, there was more news on exactly what to expect from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Hunters will be crossing the sea to the new region known as Hoarfrost Reach, where despite the cold forest being a seemingly inhabitable tundra on the surface, it’s teeming with life. We’ll go over all of what has been revealed and what to expect in the coming expansion.

In order to prepare for the new expansion that will be coming at some point, check out our extensive [cms-block] to get up to speed with the basics, as well as all the more in-depth strategies for item crafting and individual monster fights. While the free updates are still happening for the base game, we should probably begin with the hottest news and show everything we know about .

Capcom details Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's massive new biome, new creatures, more
Monster Hunter: World

Following on from the gameplay trailer reveal of Monster Hunter World expansion Iceborne, Capcom has shared a few more details on what players can expect to see when the paid update hits PS4 and Xbox One on 6th September.

As previously announced, Iceborne, which requires the Monster Hunter World base game to play, will introduce a brand-new story - picking up after the ending of the main game - as well as new monsters, and a new high-level rank. The latter, one step above High Rank, will be known as Master Rank, and is analogous to the G Rank seen in previous Monster Hunter games.

In many ways, though, the star of the show in Iceborne will be its new biome, known as Hoarfrost Reach - a snowy, extremely cold area that distinguishes itself from the base game both visually and in terms of its new gameplay elements. The extreme cold will, for instance, decrease hunters' stamina, making it much harder to battle the area's formidable creatures. Thankfully, effects of the cold can be countered (in much the same way as it could in earlier Monster Hunter games) by drinking Hot Drinks.
