Monster Hunter: World's next content update features a crossover with The Witcher 3
Soul Calibur VI won't be Geralt's only cameo appearance in other video games, as Capcom is planing to add The Witcher's hero as a playable character in Monster Hunter: World. This content will be added as a free update early next year, and will include bonus quests that players can take on while playing as Geralt, which feature special added RPG elements that are similar in gameplay to The Witcher 3. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will be first to receive the update, with a PC patch following shortly thereafter.
Together with Capcom, we’re presenting the crossover everyone’s been waiting for: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Monster Hunter: World!
The collaboration sees Monster Hunter: World players take on the mantle of Geralt of Rivia, and has them take on a series of Witcher-inspired quests. These offer a unique gameplay experience blending RPG mechanics of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter: World’s game systems.
Reprising his role as the witcher is Doug Cockle — the English voice of Geralt of Rivia.
The Witcher-inspired content is coming to Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in early 2019 as a free update, with the PC release to follow soon.
Additionally, a new game expansion will be made available in Fall 2019. Titled Iceborne, it will offer a brand new rank and quests to take on.
