What is Monster Hunter?

Since its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2004, Monster Hunter has thrilled fans with its unique blend of action and role-playing elements. While the scope of the game has grown steadily over the years, the central concept of taking down gigantic monsters and using their parts to craft new weapons and armour remains unchanged — and as compelling as ever.

The series received a dramatic overhaul with 2018's stunning Monster Hunter World, helping it to reach a wider audience than ever before.
