Back in June at E3 Capcom showed Monster Hunter: World for the very first time and we had an opportunity to speak with longtime producer Ryozo Tsujimoto.

"Monster Hunter has been a series for over a decade now", said Tsujimoto. "And we felt it was time to maybe reevaluate the series a little and see what we wanted to do next. Using the latest technology available on home consoles meant that we're able to create a fully living, breathing world with its own eco system. The monsters have their own intelligent behaviour. They interact with not just the hunter, but they interact with eachother as well. It was really just a chance for us to make the most deep, and involving, and detailed Monster Hunter world ever."
