Because why be online ready on disc?
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this news, but Monster Hunter: World will be receiving a day one update. Buying the game and putting the disc in your console won’t be enough if you plan to play online. After acquiring the game, you’ll then need to download an 815 MB patch that will grant you access to the servers. How convenient…
The day one patch won’t only just enable online support, though. The other changes are relegated to language support, which is at least nice. I’m not sure why this wasn’t just included on the disc, but at least non-English speakers will have the opportunity to experience Monster Hunter.
Additional Systems
- Unlocks online-use systems including multiplayer, event quests, and chat.
- Adds function to receive additional content to the player’s My House room service.
- Adds gallery function to the title menu to replay event scenes.
- Adds a Gallery Mode that enables you to watch the event scenes you have previously seen. The appearance of the player character will change based on the save data.
- Mascot character Poogie added to Research Commission HQ.
- As you progress through the story, Poogie will appear in the distribution area of Research Commission HQ. You can deepen your friendship with him through skillful petting. If you pick him up and take him around, something good may happen.
