Month: January 2018

All month long, IGN First is spotlighting the Films to Watch in 2018. Today, we have an exclusive new poster for Winchester, a horror film from Lionsgate and directors Michael and Peter Spierig that stars Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook and Angus Sampson. Winchester opens stateside February 2, 2018.

There are those who claim that the Winchester Mystery House is the most haunted house in America, and maybe even the world. Located in San Jose, California, the mansion was built by Sarah Winchester, the widow of William Winchester, who founded the lucrative Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and was under almost constant construction as it gradually became an eccentric architectural curiosity that, the story goes, contains the ghosts of people killed by Winchester rifles.

Of all the possible announcements Marvel Comics could have made to kick off the new year, I certainly didn’t expect the news that they’ve reacquired the rights to Conan the Barbarian. Outside of Star Wars and Dark Tower, Marvel hasn’t focused a great deal on licensed properties in the last couple decades. This new acquisition suggests that Marvel’s publishing strategy may be shifting in 2018. And honestly, that may be for the best. A little Conan could be just what Marvel needs right now.

Monster Hunter World is now available worldwide on PS4 and Xbox One, and alongside it, Capcom has released an important day-one patch for the game. Not only will you need to install the update if you’d like to play online with other players, it’s required in order to receive any of Monster Hunter World’s downloadable content, including the bonus items Capcom offered with pre-orders.

After installing the day-one patch, which weighs in at approximately 815 MB, you’ll be able to claim rewards from the Housekeeper in your room in Astera. If you pre-ordered the title digitally, you’ll have to download your bonus items (the Origin set and Fair Wind Charm) from the PlayStation or Xbox Stores. Once the items have been downloaded, launch Monster Hunter World and talk to your Housekeeper. Select the “Claim Bonuses” option and the items will appear in your Equipment Box.

Those who purchased the Monster Hunter World Digital Deluxe edition will receive their items automatically, while the Collector’s edition includes a download code for its bonus content. If you missed out on either but would still like to get your hands on their bonuses, you can purchase the Deluxe Kit, which contains the same items as the Deluxe edition (excluding its Weapon avatars), from your console’s respective digital store and follow the above process to claim them.

Those who participated in the PS4-exclusive Monster Hunter World beta tests and completed each mission can also claim a special Camouflage Face Paint and Commendations Packs as a reward. To receive the items, launch Monster Hunter World with the same PSN ID you used during the beta, then speak to the Housekeeper and claim your bonuses. The Commendations Packs will be added to your Item Box, while the Camouflage Face Paint will appear as a new option in the Change Appearance menu in your Equipment Box. Additionally, PS4 players will need to install the day-one update to take on the exclusive quest to get Horizon Zero Dawn DLC armor.

You can read more about the title in our Monster Hunter World review. Even if you’re new to the action-RPG series, we explain why Monster Hunter World is a great starting place for newcomers. We’ve also put together a Monster Hunter World beginner’s guide to help ease you into the title. Monster Hunter World is also in development for PC, though that version won’t be released until this fall.

The newest entry in Capcom’s monster-slaying action-RPG franchise, Monster Hunter World, is out now on PS4 and Xbox One, marking the series’ return to home consoles after appearing exclusively on 3DS for the past several years. The move to PS4 and Xbox One has allowed Capcom to create the largest and most richly detailed world in a Monster Hunter title yet, and the publisher commemorated the series’ biggest release with an equally extravagant Collector’s Edition, which we got our hands on.

In the video above, you can watch us unbox Monster Hunter World’s hefty Collector’s Edition. The package was only available in limited quantities, running for $150, and it comes with a variety of bonus items, including an art book and special collector’s box. The centerpiece of the Collector’s Edition, however, is an impressively detailed statue of Monster Hunter World’s new flagship monster, the Nergigante, which was featured in the most recent PS4 beta.

Along with those physical collectibles, the Monster Hunter World Collector’s Edition also includes download codes for the game’s soundtrack and the Deluxe Kit, which nets you an assortment of in-game items, such as a special set of samurai armor. The Deluxe Kit is also included in the Digital Deluxe Edition of Monster Hunter World, but all other players who’d also like to get their hands on the items can purchase the kit separately from the PlayStation and Xbox Stores for $15.
