Capcom has announced that in preparation for their upcoming release of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, they’ll be having a beta exclusively for PlayStation Plus users on PlayStation 4, starting June 21 at 3:00 am PT / 6:00 am ET / 11:00 am BST, and running through the same time on June 24.

A second beta will be available for all PlayStation 4 users starting June 28 at 3:00 am PT / 6:00 am ET / 11:00 am BST and run through the same time on July 1. Preload options will be available a couple of days in advance before each beta. The base game is not required to participate.

“The beta offers players three quest choices, including the beginner-friendly Great Jagras hunt from Monster Hunter: World for newcomers, the brand new horned brute wyvern Banbaro for an intermediate challenge or returning series favorite Tigrex for the fiercest of hunters,” states Capcom. “The beta will let players test out all 14 weapon types in any of the three quests and the training area.”

Upon completing each quest for the first time, players can earn a total of three item packs containing consumable items that will be available for them to use in the full version of the Iceborne expansion when it releases.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is due out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, and for PC this winter.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]

Published

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.

In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.

Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.

Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.

Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
