Capcom has just wrapped up a live broadcast focusing on this month's Monster Hunter: World, in which the publisher shared some brand new information and footage.
First and foremost is the news that, yes, there will be yet another open beta test on PS4, beginning 18th January at 18:00 PT (or 19th January at 02:00 GMT for us Brits) and ending 21st January at 17:59 PT (or, 22nd at 01:59 GMT). A new monster, the fierce-looking Nergigante, will appear as a fourth quest alongside the three you'll be familiar with by now.
In addition to this, the first DLC was revealed in the form of a new monster to face, namely the Deviljho. This spiky beast will be added to the game for free this spring, and you can see a sneak peek at the end of the great new Monster Hunter: World trailer, embedded above. It's well worth a watch, as there are a number of new monsters shown off.
Capcom also unveiled new Monster Hunter themed hardware for Japan, as well as PS4 bundles. If it wasn't clear already, this game is a big deal for the publisher.
The game is only a few weeks away - will you be taking part in yet another beta test? Are you excited for the impending release? Rejoin the hunt in the comments below.
Update: Capcom has confirmed that the beta will be available to preload on 17th January.

If I don’t have to download a whole new file, I may try the new beta. The game is out in just a matter of a couple weeks, so I’m surprised they are doing new content in the beta.
I am very interested to see how this does in Japan especially and if it pushes even more PS4 units. The sales numbers could potentially be impressive.
Apparently, you'll only have 15 mins to complete the Nergigante quest.
If Deviljho is only available through DLC, then I'm guessing it won't have its usual role of being the ultra hard monster that shows up in the middle of an unrelated quest ready to ruin the hunter's day. I wonder what monster they'll have doing that instead.

@WanderingBullet What game is your avatar from? It looks so familiar.
@ToddlerNaruto FFXIV: Stormblood.
My brother is still holding out for a PS4 Pro bundle with this....
@WanderingBullet jeez this is going to get expensive for me!
@NathanUC Is a good thing I'm not really that interested in the controller.lol I am however kinda interested in the CE that's comes with statue but since GameStop doesn't ship internationally, I'm gonna have to wait and see the local retailers here will bring that version in.
@WanderingBullet I NEED IT! I'm still not sure if I'll get the CE or digital copy though. I think it will depend on the size/quality of the statue. I have the Last Guardian statue, but it ended up being way too big for my desk at work.
@NathanUC The statue looks decent. For me, the main issue with CE statues is that usually they don't look as good as what we see in the promo pictures. For example, sometimes if you're unlucky you'll get the one that wasn't painted properly. And then, there's also the quality issue like you said.

Oh wow they added a quest. They should have done that last time.
@Tsurii Looks pretty spiky to me!
@WanderingBullet Oh so it's Final Fantasy related, makes sense.
I hope we get Savage Jho as well.
Never played a Monster Hunter. Is this game playable as single player? Or the hunts are mostly optimize for 4 players co-op?
@whywai88 - You can technically play the whole game in single player but some Monsters will be a heck of a challenge by yourself.
