During the most recent Monster Hunter: World developer livestream, Capcom confirmed that the game will be getting an expansion. Titled Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, it'll add a new storyline that takes place after the events of the main game, new monsters, new locations, and new equipment. Capcom specifically called it a "massive expansion", so you can expect it to be meaty.
Iceborne is aiming to launch in Autumn 2019, so it's a while away yet. However, the developer says that it'll have more information, including pricing, to share in Spring 2019.
Good news? Get back to the hunt in the comments section below.

Colour me hyped.
This is good news but a bit late. Autumn 2019 is a LONG ways off and alot to ask for these days.
Just gotta wait to see how big of an expansion "massive" is.
Those new gears and not to mention new hairstyle looks pretty cool.
MHW was GOTY for me but Autumn 2019 is a long way off.
To my fellow hunters , was that Nargacuga at the end ? 🤔
@oatmealwarrior92 Red eyes that leave a trail, and that growl, yup
This, the Witcher 3 crossover, and all the other news will probably pull me back in. I haven't yet finished the main story, but it seems like next year's going to be a good time to do so. Not a whole lot of games I'm looking forward to in Q1, perfect time for some MHW.
So stoked for this. Only downside is that AT Nergi will be the last new free update and that's slated for Spring. So no more new updates for maybe about 6 months until Iceborne releases.:/
Still kicking myself for trading it in... I actually loved this game but was short on cash at some point this year and yeah.. good thing is I’ll be getting it again from Christmas, so hopefully I’m caught up by the time this is out! Can’t wait!
Nice. Just picked up MHW, so by the time I'm done with it, this expansion will probably be out.
Just got the game 2 weeks ago loving it, can wait till then no problem.
Ready to get my butt kicked!!!!
nice i guess but the release date is way to far ahead, why tell us now?
i'll look forward to it in the distant future?
monster Hunter world is the best monster Hunter game ever.i never was into it until I play world.i knew I would like it.word up son
@Spectra why do I feel you’d needa be heavily intoxicated to stomach thier story...
I feel you’d prob like Generations Ultimate’s way of story where it’s
Story? The heck is that!? GO! Go hunt Monsters...
@Derpie1 GU's "story" is non-existent, but no one plays Monster Hunter looking for a story. I much more prefer what MH4U did where it had a story that was interesting enough to warrant its existence, but it did not get in the way of hunting monsters because the story was separate from multiplayer, unlike World.
@GodOfPie oh Ik but hey...
@Derpie1 idk World's story is a neat way to give people a reason to play and learn the controls, but I do wish that single player and multiplayer content would have stayed separate, keeping the story as an optional experience. The way they were combined isn't exactly seamless with the cut scene problem and it puts too much focus on the narrative.
@GodOfPie I’d have ideas for a Story
Is it deep? Not completely but it’s something... would be a little dark...
So hyped! I can't even...
I'm excited for this. Autumn 2019 is a long way away though, not sure if I'll even remember how to play it by then. I'll skip the arch tempered and Witcher stuffs before then, as arch tempered monsters are too tough for me, and I haven't played Witcher.
@Spectra yup but it’s a big AAA game it’s a game for newcomers gotta try and make a story...cus marketing
Even if it isn’t good
"This expansion will be size of previous "G" or "Ultimate" entries in the series."
Just curious but how many new monsters and locations do they usually add in those versions?
I wonder if we are going to get old and new or just old monsters and I don't see that salty dude that said they were just gonna do alatreon and nothing big
@WanderingBullet Enough to make you comeback and play more Monster Hunter for 300 more hours 😝
@GKO900 That's great! So we're expecting a price tag of at least $40 then?
@WanderingBullet Probably, and looks like older monsters are coming back judging by those red eyes it's probably nargacuga
@GKO900 Yeah, I saw some of the old Nargacuga ninja armors. They looked pretty cool.
@JesWood13 Maybe they will release the game with the expansion. 😁
I really hope the price tag will be worth the content. Apparently more story etc. so I will definitely keep an eye on it.
At least it has a better story than Tekken 7
@Octane the expansion is out around Q3?
@Ridwaano The Geralt stuff isn't, and I have yet to finish the game, then I'll pick it up later in the year when the expansion is out.
I'm going to get this today I think. CEX in the UK sell it for 15 quid so a perfect time to get it. Can you do the whole campeign in multiplayer? I heard it was a bit of a git to set up.
@Kidfunkadelic83
Yeah you can do most of the campaign in multi-player
Nice. My wife picked it up at lunch for me. Just got to find some friends to play with now 😂
