Capcom revealed today that Monster Hunter: World will get a PC release next month, on August 9th. Originally released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in January, Monster Hunter: World has been well received by gamers and critics alike, so this news should be welcome.
Action RPG fans who wish to pre-order the latest installment in the Monster Hunter franchise should set aside US$59.99 for the Standard Edition, or US$70.48 for the Deluxe Edition, which includes the game plus some extra digital goodies.
The publisher also shared a list of minimum and recommended system requirements:

-
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: WINDOWS® 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64-bit required)
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 3770 3.4GHz or Intel® Core™ i3 8350 4GHz or AMD Ryzen™ 5 1500X

The mention of 1080p/30fps might raise a few red flags, but according to Capcom representatives, Monster Hunter: World will not feature a 30 frames per second cap (and our own experience with the company’s MT Framework engine suggests that the recommended requirements will probably deliver a 60fps experience).
