Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is the highly anticipated massive expansion to Monster Hunter: World, Capcom's best-selling title of all time with over 12 million units shipped worldwide, adding to the series' over 53 million copies sold to date. This enormous follow-up rivals the original in terms of content, featuring a new icy environment, new storyline, new monsters, new gameplay options, and more.
The entirely new story begins after the events of Monster Hunter: World and will lead hunters to a newly discovered frozen location that, once thoroughly explored, will prove to be the largest region in World seen so far. The new environment is home to a multitude of old and new monsters, ready to challenge hunters during their expeditions, and raises the stakes with the addition of the higher difficulty "Master Rank." Iceborne continues World's skill-based progression and robust crafting system, expanding it with several new gameplay features that broaden the player's combat repertoire. All of this will lead hunters to the ultimate final test against the mysterious new flagship monster: Velkhana, an elder dragon with powerful ice attacks.
• New and Old Monsters - The new environment hosts new enemies, as well as fan favorites – in addition to the existing monster lineup in World. • Deepen Combat Mechanics - With the new ability to use the Slinger while wielding the main weapon, new combat strategies will be available. • New Gear and Craftable Items - New monsters add new materials that hunters can use to craft equipment.
The Master Edition contains the base game plus the Iceborne expansion.
