Talking to Game Informer , executive director and art director Koname Fujioka said “We've taken that feedback to heart from players who wanted more difficulty and more challenge and really delivered on that."Before you can hit Iceborne’s endgame, you need to have finished Monster Hunter: World’s main story. For those who have not yet reached that milestone, Capcom have included a few features to make getting through the story a little quicker. A streamlined tracking system, for instance, should make discovering monsters a little quicker.For those who completed Monster Hunter: World long ago, and have since been enjoying the endgame of the base game, the beginning of Iceborn will prove easier than for those who haven’t harvested enough to make fantastic armour sets. “I think for players who are going straight from the end of the story from World it’s going to feel a little more difficult when they’re transitioning into the new master rank for Iceborne,” Fujioka warns.But while it may be more challenging for less experienced players, Capcom has made sure to make Iceborne enjoyable and fair for all players. “We’ve taken great care to make sure that players who are just transitioning straight from World have no fear and have an easy time of getting into the game and enjoying themselves,” said game director Daisuke Ichihara.Monster Hunter: World Iceborne releases this September, so there’s not too long to wait.
