One of the first major AAA games of 2018 will be Capcom's Monster Hunter: World, which is set to deploy on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One near the end of January. There is a PC version that's also in development and on Wednesday morning, Capcom offered an update as to how that's coming along.

"The game is almost out, with the console version going on sale around the world on Friday, January 26," said Monster Hunter: World producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. "I hope you're looking forward to it! As for the PC version, we're working hard on it right now and aiming for an Autumn 2018 release."

For those who opt to wait for the PC version or those who decide to grab the console version, free content awaits, nonetheless. Tsujimoto promised that free updates would hit all versions of Monster Hunter: World following its January launch, which will offer new monsters, among other things.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
