If you've always wanted to try Monster Hunter: World after seeing so many people rave about how good it is, then you're in luck. The game's getting a trial version that lets you play through the early quests, giving you a decent feel for the title as a whole.
Said trail version will only be available for a limited time, however. You'll be able to download it from the PlayStation Store starting tomorrow (that's the 11th December), but it'll be gone on the 17th December. Any progress that you make during your time with the trail will carry over into the full game, should you wish to buy it.
Will you be giving this trail a go? Don't be afraid to join the hunt in the comments section below.

Does anyone know if the trial itself is limited to that time frame or just the ability to download it?
I wasn't really feeling the slow combat and the lack of real impact of the weapons on monsters when I played the beta but I'm willing to give it another try.
I said about the Tomb Raider trial that I wished more games would do this and I'll definitely be giving this one a go. I've never played a game in the series but it does look like something I would enjoy so I can't wait to give it a go
There was a demo for this game right around when it released though. I'm pretty sure it was in the US as that's the only account I use on my PS4, not sure about anywhere else.
I remember the demo b/c I couldlnt' get the hang of swinging on vies, and I'm pretty sure, like all the other MH games I've tried to play, my first battle "timed out" before I could kill the big nasty.
Have they patched in a "no time limit" option yet? I'll be more inclined to buy it if they do. And no items. And no grinding. Just let me kill things. Little things in a minute, big things in 5 minutes. 10 minutes for major bosses, but that's about my limit. And no hot items for cold areas or water for hot areas. I just want to kill things, nto play a survival game.
Guess it woudlnt' hurt to give the trial a try while I wait for Santa to bring my kids all their games. Dawned on me this morning Santa isn't bringing me anything this year, maybe some pjs but thats' about it. I'm saving up gift allotment for PS5, whenever that is.
Ploughed a good 25 hours into this game, mainly on grinding for crafting materials and I have to say, I had an absolutely brilliant time....I really need to get back to this game, it really is chock full of fun and great content.
Demo is up on the US store now, under the game's vanilla edition page.
I have been considering this game for a while, but didn't have the funds when it first released and feel like I will be too far behind to catch up with people.
Does anyone know if that is the case?
I'm going to try this free trial as I think it is great. Only problem is now with Christmas coming up I don't have much time to play it... bah humbug.
@AllHailQueenBoo thanks for the info, that helps a lot.
I managed to play the trial version last night and whilst I didn’t have much time I got a sense of the game and enjoyed it. I tried the dual blades and they are fast and fluid.
I think I will pick this game up shortly after the trial ends as the pressure is off and I can just enjoy the experience before the new content.
As Localpenguin said can we d/l the trial and play it after the 17th? I’d really like to try this but have barely no free time before the 17th. Will try and juggle some things if not as I’m curious if I’d like this game. Anybody know?
