WithDestiny 2making some questionable choices that have its fan-base uncertain as to where the game will be going, many fans are looking for a new grind to sink their time into - and it’s looking as thoughMonster Hunter Worldmight just be the title players need. According to Game Director Yuya Tokuda, the latest in theMonster Hunterfranchise will be host to a familiar focus on looting thatDestinyfans are well equipped to deal with.
In a recent discussion regarding the similarities betweenDestinyandMonster Hunter World, Tokuda commented on the parallels between the two series.
“The concept of collecting loot from slain enemies to improve their equipment is certainly similar.That’s why I thinkDestinyplayers will find it easier to settle in and get intoMonster Hunter World.”
However, the Director added that there is no level up system in the upcoming large-scaleMonster Huntertitle, and all skills are instead tied directly to the items that the player has equipped.Executive Director Kaname Fujiokaalso commented on the similarities between to two games, pointing out thatMonster Hunter Worldprovides a unique feeling when collecting loot.
In the upcomingMonster Hunterinstallment, Hunters will need to decide which equipment they want to build in advance, before tracking down the necessary monster. Depending on which body part is needed, players may need to knock off a certain limbor capture the beast rather than killing it, providing a little more variation to the title.
One thingDestinyplayers will certainly be happy about is the promise offree DLC forMonster Hunter World, a concept that many wishDestiny 2offered after the disappointing reception ofCurse of Osiris. The game will also offer a meaningful and content-filled endgame, as with previousMonster Huntertitles, making it everything that Bungie’s MMO-inspired shooter is currently lacking.
As for the story,Monster Hunter Worldwill take some timeto complete, with even the quickest of players expected to rack up a great deal of hours in the title’s story missions alone. After an Open Beta that left fans desperate for more, it’s safe to say that the latest in theMonster Hunterfranchise is certainly one to watch when it launches early next year.
Monster Hunter: Worldwill launch on January 26th, 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One, with a PC release planned for a later date.
