Hey hunters,

How goes the hunts?

We recently celebrated the 5th anniversary of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, so it feels like a rather cool reason to head back to the Hoarfrost Reach for some hunts, or if you’ve yet to experience Master Rank, discover this new land for the first time!

Well, we’ve also got another reason for you, whether you’re already well settled into Seliana, or yet to make the trip from Astera! To get ready for the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds in 2025, you can earn some special Palico equipment with save data from both Monster Hunter: World and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne!

Oh yes! Two extra Palico equipment sets can be yours! One for having Monster Hunter World save data, with a second Iceborne inspired set also unlocking for hunters who have made some early progress into the expansion!

Full details on how this will work for you here on Steam can be found HERE[www.monsterhunter.com]. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and any questions you may have on this feature will be answered!



With that, allow us to welcome you back to the frosty fields of the Hoarfrost Reach, your warm hearth within the cold, Seliana, and the step up to Master Rank hunts. If you haven’t picked up the Iceborne expansion or perhaps stopped at the conclusion of Monster Hunter: World’s story, let us highlight some of the early monsters you’ll face in Iceborne.

Beotodus

Diving deep within the snow and welcoming you to the Hoarfrost Reach is the piscine wyvern, Beotodus. When facing Beotodus, keep an eye on the snow to see where it might emerge from.

Consider bringing an Iceproof Mantle or any armor with Ice Resistance. Weapons that can deal fire elemental damage can always give you a leg up in the hunt. Lastly, Nullberries are must to nullify the effects of Ice Blight.

Something to become accustomed to right when you enter this new locale is to always have a Hot Drink on hand. Grab some of the Hot Peppers nearby and stay warm as frequently as possible, otherwise the ice-cold temperatures of the locale will soon take their toll on your maximum stamina!


Banbaro

Banbaro is the next challenge in front of you, a large and ferocious Brute Wyvern that can use its massive horns to charge through all obstacles, yes, including you, with reckless abandon.

Banbaro’s relentless charge attacks and ability to grab boulders and hurl them at you can put in you in dangerous position, so stay agile as Banbaro will quickly close distance to attack, whether physically or throwing something heavy your way! Of course, if you’re rocking a weapon that can guard, there’s always the option to stand your ground!

Like Beotodus, this monster can also inflict Ice Blight with some of its attacks, so keep some Nullberries to hand!


Twists on familiar faces from the New World

Iceborne also features new versions of some monsters you may have already encountered in Monster Hunter: World. Here’s a selection of some you’ll face in your early Master Rank hunts:

Coral Pukei-Pukei, Viper Tobi-Kadachi, Nightshade Paolumu and Fulgur Anjanath.

We know many of you reading this post will be more than familiar with these monsters, but for hunters who’ve just made the journey across from High Rank, we’ll leave you to discover more about these monsters out in the field. We’re sure you’ll pick up on some clues in the names of these monsters, so prepare accordingly!



That wraps up today’s post!

We hope you jump further into the adventure of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne to make the wait until Monster Hunter Wilds go by just a little bit quicker.

Hey hunters,

How goes the hunting?

In-case you’ve missed it, since August 5th we’ve been sharing daily Monster Hunter Wilds weapon overview videos of all 14 weapons!

Last week we shared a look at the first seven, and now we’re back to complete the set with the remaining seven we’ve revealed since then!

If you’d like to get up to speed with what we’ve shown so far on the weapons you’ll be wielding in Wilds, you can check out the previous post HERE.

Before we look at these weapons, just a reminder that we’re at Gamescom 2024 this week in Cologne, Germany!

This includes a brand-new Monster Hunter Wilds trailer and more information being revealed at Opening Night Live, the world first playable hands-on for Wilds, as well as daily weekday streams from the Developer Team! We’ll share some more details on this after the weapon videos.

Now let’s unsheathe those weapons and get stuck in with the overviews!



Hammer

Charge up your hammer and go for the head! Close the gap and dodge attacks by using the slinger to never give monsters room to breathe.

Bonk with precision and stay centered on the monster's head with Focus Mode and stagger it with a Focus Strike!


Light Bowgun

Let loose with the highly mobile and versatile Light Bowgun. Successfully land hits to build Rapid Fire energy, then unleash multiple shots in quick succession!

Aim for the monster's weak points and launch an explosive mine for booming damage!


Sword & Shield

Wield the strengths of both Cut and Blunt damage with the Sword & Shield!

When combined with its mobility, swift attacks and the ability to guard, you'll be ready for whatever awaits you in the hunt!


Switch Axe

The versatile Switch Axe can morph between its powerful Axe Mode and the swift Sword Mode on the fly to fit the situation.

With Focus Mode, accurately target the enemy's weak point and discharge your weapon's phials!


Bow

Seek and destroy with the Bow! Hit a monster with a Tracer and your arrows will home in on the target.

With Focus Strike, blot out the sun by firing a volley of multiple arrows into the monster's weak points.


Lance

Become an unstoppable wall with the Lance!

Punish the monster with a variety of guard-related moves and counters. With Focus Mode, go on the offensive and charge forward by exploiting the monster's weak points.


Dual Blades

Deliver damage by a thousand cuts with the agile Dual Blades. Enter Demon Mode and maintain the Archdemon Mode state to deal rapid damage!

Use a Focus Strike attack to exploit a monster's weak point, becoming a spinning slicing cyclone of destruction.



With that, we’ve now covered all 14 weapon overview videos! Ok, now you’ve seen them all, what were the highlights for you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
