Reason
Winning the Japan Game Awards Future category last year, "Monster Hunter: World" is a home console game long-awaited by fans with a lot of expectations given to the release.
Many users praised the new challenges that make full use of the hardware performance, and as a masterpiece that Japan can be proud of worldwide, not only the series fans but also new users overwhelmingly support the game, causing it to receive the award.
Work Introdution
A place of new life. Hunt instinctively!
Players become hunters and receive orders for quests to hunt monsters that live in various environments.
Using elements that they gain through hunting monsters, players can create stronger weapons and armor and fight even more powerful monsters.
In the latest game in the series, "Monster Hunter: World," hunters step into the unknown continent called "New World" as members of an investigation team.
In this new landscape with its rich ecosystems, a world opens up with the traces of monsters as clues, and in addition to weapons and armor, players can now use everything in the dense environment such as various organisms, plants, and topography in a new world of hunting.
Comment of the game producer
We are honored to have been awarded the prestigious Grand Prize at the Japan Game Awards 2018.
Monster Hunter: World is the first new game for home consoles in nine years. The project faced a very wide range of production challenges, including seamless fields, actions that do not stop movement, and online gameplay with players from all over the world.
We intended to create the game for first-time players as well as the players mainly in Japan who have supported us so far, and we wanted to do everything that was possible now.
But at the same time, it was a constant battle against fears such as, "Will the players really enjoy this?" "Is it OK?"
For our creation to be recognized in the form of this award today makes us full of relief for the past days and we are simply full of thanks and think that we have received more blessing than we deserve.
Again, to everyone who supported us.
Thank you for playing the game.
Thank you for picking us for the award.
