Annual Monster Hunter concert to stream online later this month

Details about the annual Monster Hunter orchestral concert were recently released, an annual event that serves as a showcase for the music of publisher Capcom’s popular action series. Fans can watch the concert online on September 28.

Started in 2009 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the series, the show has been yearly since 2014 as the composers of the games join with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra to play some of the most memorable music in the series. In 2019, the show took to the road, playing five cities in Japan to celebrate the 15th anniversary. When the pandemic hit in 2020, though, the show was conducted online for the first time, allowing fans worldwide to enjoy the music.

Hirofumi Kurita will be handling conducting duties as he has since 2014, and series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto will give a behind-the-scenes speech. A host of other musicians will join them to play the music from the hit series.

Monster Hunter: World comes to PC in a month - here are its system requirements

Monster Hunter: World will launch on Steam on August 9. In a rare exception to the general rule that games get delayed, that's earlier than we were expecting - publisher Capcom had previously planned to launch in autumn. That said, it came out on consoles in January, so.

Capcom has also confirmed the minimum and recommend system requirements for what has already become the best-selling game in its history, with over eight million units shipped to consoles worldwide.

At a minimum, you'll need a GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x with 2GB VRAM or more; an Intel i5-4460 at 3.20 GHz or an AMD FX-6300 (or better); 8 GB of RAM; 20 GB of storage; DirectX version 11; and Windows 7 or above (64-bit required). This will deliver 30fps at 1080p on low graphics settings. Mouse, keyboard, and game pads (both DirectInput and XInput) are supported.

Recommended specs suggest a GTX 1060 (VRAM 3GB) or Radeon RX 570X (VRAM 4GB); an Intel i3 8350 at 4GHz, or an Intel i7 3770 at 3.4GHz, or an AMD Ryzen 5 - all other requirements, including RAM, are the same as the minimum spec. This will deliver 30fps at 1080p on high graphics settings.

Everyone relax, the Monster Hunter movie is coming to save Christmas

Given the year 2020's been, we're all a little worried about Christmas. Sony Pictures is aware of the concern, and has made the wise decision to put the Monster Hunter movie out on Christmas Day, so we have something to truly bring us all together in joy and good spirit.

IGN has confirmed the new release date for the movie based on the action-RPG games. Now, at least in the US, Monster Hunter will open in theaters and IMAX on December 25, moved up five days from the December 30 that was teased in the first trailer. Monster Hunter's release date has bounced around quite a bit due to the pandemic, starting at September 4, then jumping to April 23, 2021, before coming back to December 30, and moving forward again to December 25.

The Paul W. S. Anderson-directed blockbuster will now be in direct competition with Wonder Woman 1984 and Disney's Soul, both of which will be hitting streaming services the same day, the former HBO Max, the latter Disney Plus. If you're in Germany, Austria, or the Netherlands, you'll be able to catch Monster Hunter from December 3. Nothing on specific dates for UK and Ireland just yet, but we'll keep you informed.
