Let’s not forget the fact that Monster Hunter: World is Capcom’s top selling video game franchise. It was noted a few months back that the game’s sales surpassed other Capcom greats, such as Resident Evil. Monster Hunter: World reached a total of 7.9 million shipments and digital downloads.
The Japanese publisher/developer means to make the most out of Monster Hunter’s popularity. And they should. They announced a computer-animated special, today. It is scheduled to premiere in 2019. Capcom is working closely with Western production company Pure Imagination Studios on this intriguing project.
We do not have any specifics about the special at this time. However, we were given a name and a kind of a teaser premise. They are calling it Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild. The special is going to tell the tale of a male warrior who leaves his hometown to hunt down a dangerous Elder Dragon.
Just in case you were wondering, Capcom and Pure Imagination previous projects include the Lego-inspired episode of The Simpsons. As for the special, well, as we said, it is known that the company intends to air it worldwide sometime next year. More importantly, some names were mentioned as well. Writer Joshua Fine (know for Starz’s Ultimate Spider-Man series) was revealed to be working on the project.
Admittedly, Monster Hunter: World took a ridiculous chunk of my time when it hit the market back in January when it launched. You can read our full review of the game here.
In the meantime, let us know if you’re interested in the special by writing your thoughts in the comments below.

I'd Eat These 5 Monster Hunter World Monsters
-
Mosswine - Pork Chops
Why wouldn’t you want to eat a Mosswine? They even take you to bunches of mushrooms so that you have a side to go with their porky goodness. I’d feel a little bad eating one after it’s picked out what it goes well with, but a Mosswine would make for a great set of porkchops once it’s been cleaned and prepared – you don’t want to eat any of its moss, after all!
Porkchops, mushrooms, and perhaps a few herbs from your journey come together to create a hearty meal, and one that’ll reinvigorate you to go back out on your monster slaying adventures.
-
Anjanath - BBQ Ribs
Anjanath’s short little arms may not be willing to give much, but he has a massive body. That means that Anjanath can provide plentiful ribs! What goes good with ribs? BBQ sauce. You know that the Handler likely has an excellent BBQ sauce recipe, because her love for food knows no bounds. Whilst this would be a simple meal of endless stacks of ribs coated in a warm, smoky BBQ sauce, you’ll not be left unsatisfied. That meat will fall right off the bone and honestly readers, I’m at risk of dribblin’ right now.
-
Lavasioth - Chili-coated Fish
Monster Hunter: World doesn’t offer many options in terms of seafood, but the fiery Lavasioth could provide fish food with a bit of a kick. Sure, it doesn’t come from the sea of water, but it comes from a sea of lava! You can guarantee it’ll be hot when it reaches your plate, and you might find going to the toilet to be a bigger challenge than facing down any monster. What people would do for food, eh?
Give me that fish fillet with a chili coating, chili oil, and a jug (or several) of water to wash that hot inferno down. This is a dish for those Fivers who think that they could eat even the hottest food, but the Hunter’s Guild and Research Commission team don’t take responsibility for those brave – or foolish – enough to try it out.
-
Rathian - Beef Bowl
You know what Rathians have that not many other monsters have? Eggs. They lay eggs, and they’re massive. You don’t even need to carve the Rathian to create a good meal with what it has to offer, but shredded beef on a bed of rice with egg cracked on top sounds pretty darn great, doesn’t it? This is Monster Hunter, so of course the amount of rice and beef has to be comparable to the size of Rathian’s eggs. Maybe Yu Narukami of Persona 4 fame could tackle such an endless beef bowl, as he’s tackled the meat dimension once before and come out on top. Anybody else? Who knows?
-
Kulve Taroth - Golden Feast
The Kulve Taroth is the big one. A feast fit for a king or queen. She can’t be slayed right now, but you can only imagine the gold-lined meal that she’d provide once she’s finally taken down. Food with gold in the ingredients are considered to be delicacies, and Kulve Taroth’s gold plating would accompany an insane platter of meat. It’s the largest creature in the game, so it’s suitable that its meal is nigh-impossible to eat in its entirety.
