PC players were thrilled last year when Capcom unveiled their newest Monster Hunter title and announced that Monster Hunter World would no longer be aimed at Nintendo’s aging 3DS handheld, but would focus the much more powerful home consoles and PC. Prospective players on PC were hoping for a simultaneous release but as is often with PC ports, a short time window was announced between the console release and PC version, so that the development team could focus on polishing each version up to their high standards.
In an interview with GamesRadar via PCGamer from April this year, game producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained their decision to delay the PC version by stating that the team hasn’t worked on a PC title before, so they wanted to take their time to deliver the best experience possible.
“For the main Monster Hunter game, this is our first PC title and it’s something we want to make sure we get right. […] We’re going to take some extra time and try and get the PC version as good as possible. There’s extra work you need for PC as well. On console you use first party matchmaking, you just kind of plug into it, whether it’s PSN or Xbox Live, but on PC we’re going to have to work more to get our own matchmaking working. So, hopefully, PC users won’t mind waiting a little bit longer for us to bring you a really great, optimised PC experience.”
And the extra time the team took in spades. It has been well over half a year since PS4 and Xbox One users had the chance to play Monster Hunter World, while PC players were waiting for news about their platform of choice.
Now, the time finally has come. Tomorrow Monday, July 9th at 9am PT, Capcom will share detailed information about the release date and minimum system requirements for Monster Hunter World on the PC. In the meantime, check out our review for Monster Hunter World on PS4 and Xbox One.
