According to the press release, Monster Hunter World has shipped over eight million copies globally since releasing on PS4 and Xbox One last January, making it the best selling game in Capcom’s history.
In other news, the Summer Twilight Festival will be held in the game’s Gathering Hall from July 13 to July 26. Similar to the Spring Blossom Festival, the Gathering Hall will be decorated and your Poogie and Handler will have special costumes. Almost all of the previously released event quests (including the Kulve Taroth siege according to the Event Schedule) will be made available along with exclusive Summer Twilight Fest quests. Daily login bonuses, limited bounties, and more will have extra rewards, presumably materials needed to craft a special armor set like during the Spring Blossom Fest.
Hunters can also look forward to the Free Title Update 4 this summer where the new monster, the Behemoth, will be released. The monster is actually a part of Final Fantasy XIV Online but is coming to Monster Hunter World as part of a collaboration. Monster Hunter World’s Rathalos will come to Final Fantasy XIV Online in turn.
