Monster Cash
There’s just no slowing downMonster Hunter: Worldfrom its continued success. Already the best-selling Capcom release of all time, the publisher has also announced that its2019 expansionIcebornehas just passed the five million sales mark.
Released back in September on PS4 and Xbox One, before arriving on PC a little later in January,Iceborneadds snowy tundras, new gear and monstrous new prey to the already expansiveMonster Hunter: Worldmap. Bringing devastating creatures such as theStygian Zinogre, Furious Rajang and Safi’jiiva,Iceborneis a true test of even the most hardened hunter’s abilities. And given its frosty aesthetic, it also made a snug fit forcrossoverswith Guerilla Games’Horizon Zero Dawn.
WhileMonster Hunterisa popular brand andWorldwasan anticipated game, I’m not sure anyonequitesaw it hitting this record-breaking level of success. Monster Hunter: Worldhas shifted some 15 million copies – that’s a legitimate phenomenon for what has always been considered a relatively cult franchise. No doubt this success has secured the future of theMonster Hunterbrand for generations to come.
…Y’know, unlessthat moviekills all of its street cred.
