Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

About Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is the major expansion to Monster Hunter World, developed and published by Capcom. It arrived on consoles in September 2019 and on PC in January 2020. Iceborne adds a whole new region, the Hoarfrost Reach, a frozen land of snow and ice, plus a new story that continues after the main game. Hunters face returning favorites and new monsters such as Banbaro, Velkhana, and Namielle, and every weapon gains fresh moves.

The expansion also adds Master Rank, a harder difficulty tier with stronger monsters and better armor sets to craft. The Clutch Claw tool lets hunters grapple onto monsters and soften their hides, which changes how hunts flow. The hub village of Seliana gives players a warm base with new facilities, and updates after launch added even more monsters and events for a long time after release. Iceborne is widely praised and is often described as essential for World players.
