The Monster Hunter Tokyo Game Show Trailer Is out of This World
The Tokyo Game Show is almost here, and Capcom has prepared an all-new trailer for Monster Hunter World to hype the latest entry in its flagship franchise.
The trailer is a combination of pre-rendered graphics and in-game cutscenes. Not only will Monster Hunter World use these cutscenes to tell its story (and not just introduce new monsters), but it will also have a story that apparently revolves around mysterious mounds of molten material. However, the game will primarily focus on hunting monsters, and like all Monster Hunter games, this entry will include both new and old faces. The trailer shows some of the creatures we’ve already been introduced to, including the Iguana-like Jagras and Great Jagras, the not-Chameleos Pukei-Pukei, the rock-throwing Kulu-Ya-Ku, the Anjanath — or as I like to call him, the vulturesaurus-rex — and the iconic Rathalos. However, the trailer also introduces several new creatures, including what appears to be a larger Noios (given Monster Hunter naming conventions, it will be called a Great Noios), a massive, big-horned dragon called the Nergigante, an unidentified monster the size of a mountain, a powerful climber and glider with a viper-like face and neck, a gigantic bird-like creature, a raptor-like monster with giant eyebrows that can blind enemies with a flash of light, and a fluffy, floating, bat-like creature. While some of these new faces are more reminiscent of real-world animals than those from the previous games, these creatures still demonstrate the creative team’s ability to design wildly imaginative and imposing monsters.
While the trailer focuses on the titular monsters, it also demonstrates some new features in Monster Hunter World, especially new locations. The trailer prominently shows off the game’s hub, this time a large outpost built into a cliff, where players can obtain missions, purchase and upgrade equipment, and chow down on delicious, stat-boosting meals. The video also prominently displays two new areas, a blasted canyon full of sharp, craggy rocks, and a “forest” where the trees are made out of coral, and the sky makes the place look as if it were underwater. The trailer also shows two of Monster Hunter World‘s new mantle items, specifically one that lets players be hit by attacks without flinching (no idea if they still take damage) and another that can be used to glide and travel on updrafts. However, the biggest new feature is in a blink and you’ll miss it moment. Longtime Monster Hunter fans are very familiar with the Felyne, a sentient species of bipedal, talking, cat-like monsters that act as the player’s personal squires/assistants and love to tell cat puns. But now, in Monster Hunter World, they will be able to ride small monsters such as the Jagras bareback and use them in combat. I’m excited to learn more about this mechanic and if certain rideable monsters come with unique abilities.
This trailer has me thoroughly excited for Monster Hunter World‘s release, which will be January 26th, 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While a PC version is in the works, it will come at a later, unspecified date. Gamers who pre-order the PS4 and Xbox One versions will receive a special special armor set and charm that will help out at the beginning but quickly be outclassed after a few hours of hunting.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
