So, Monster Hunter: World still looks bloody brilliant. We got our latest look at Capcom's upcoming title during Sony's Paris Games Week 2017 press conference, and although the trailer's well worth a watch for the sheer amount of beastly action, the real surprise comes at the end.
Indeed, the video reveals that Aloy, of Horizon: Zero Dawn fame, will be playable in the PlayStation 4 version of the release. We assume that she's just a skin, but it's a pretty cool extra if you're nabbing the release on Sony's console.

This game looks better with each trailer.
Is she a pre-order bonus DLC?
Yeah I'll be playing the entire game as Aloy if possible.
I've always preferred pre-defined characters over 'blank' make your own characters.
Uhmm monster hunter just got me interested
Yes, count me interested now Capcom.
It will be great to play as beautiful Aloy. =P
Since I really like both Monster Hunter and Horizon Zero Dawn, I'll be sure to try out Aloy in MH World.
I hope this will open the doors to an HZD themed dlc. I'd love to hunt down the robobeasts and build me a proper set.
This looks so so so good! The monsters look insane!
Also I love when western developers join forces with eastern ones to create some neat content
If she can be leveled up like a normal avatar in MH World, I'm all over this.
So hyped!
To be honest I thought they went from showing the Monster Hunter trailer to showing a sequel to Horizon but it with a mixture of real and robotic monsters lol
Never played Monster Hunter but I may get this.
Guerrilla has in H:ZD all the ingredients to do a Monster Hunter type of game. I imagine a they could do a multiplayer mode in Horizon were players hunt mechanical beasts.
Holy dung bombs! We get a robot Pailco!?! They are really making the wait feel longer.
I'll play as aloy if the protagonist is a character creation player, but if the protag has their own name and story I think I'll play it both (replaying the game as as aloy after finishing the game for the first time).
This looks awesome, was that a Narkarkos crawling out of the bones in the end? We're now at 20 confirmed monsters, nice to see the number grow =)
@WanderingBullet No, as in MH's tradition all DLCs are free, but are mostly limited to new calaboration armor sets and other fun additions.
@wiiware @Fight_Teza_Fight If it's anything like the previous games it will be an Aloy armor set for your character. You were able to play as Link, Samus Aran, Solid Snake and many other characters in previous games by equipping their armor sets, which are mostly subpar, sometimes hard to get, and only used for fun. BUT cosmetic armor slots have been confirmed for MHW, so you might be able to equip this set on top of your actual armor.
Same for the robot palico, it is most likely an armor set for your palico - there has been i.e. Mario, Mega Man and Amaterasu armor sets for palicos in previous games.
@Chronicus_Pr1me You don't level up in MH. All power comes from the player's skill and your gear.
@DrVollKornBrot Ah, so its like those timed-exclusive events type of thing? Like the Zelda Monster Hunter gears?
@WanderingBullet They haven't been timed in the past, you could get a copy of MH3U, MH4U or MHGen today and still have access to all DLC, and it's still free. There was new free content every single friday for like 6 months after release.
One exception were the timed event quests in MHtri, where you could fight a certain monster only during sand storms wich happened every ~ 2weeks iirc, and Tsujimoto stated in an interview during gamescom they have plans to revisit MHtri's event model in MHW.
@DrVollKornBrot With other themed dlc they always used look-a-like characters, but here they clearly showed Aloy herself. I think we'll have the chance to pick Aloy in the character editor as a pre-set build and to use her armor with a custom character.
@DrVollKornBrot Good to know, thanks!
@andreoni79 In the press release they stated that the armor will change your face to Aloy's. My guess is that it's linked to the helmet.
@DrVollKornBrot Wow, that's scary! Will it work only on a female character or could I use it even on a giant belly male? I'm asking because I only played MH3U and there the same armor set had two different versions according to the character sex. Is this a feature of all the MH episodes?
@andreoni79 Wow, i didn't even think about male charcters. I really don't know what they are doing about this. Yes, noramlly there are a fem and a male version of EVERY set in the game.
I.e., the Metal Gear armor in MHP3rd on a male character looked like Solid Snake, while the female version looked like The Boss.
