Do you like food and cats?
How about playing dress-up and going on an expedition into the wild with 3 other of your friends?
Oh also, does having a selection of 14 unique weapons, each with a deep set of moves and mechanics that while it might require some time to fully learn, results in some of the most satisfying combat in action games, also interest you?

Search no more. Monster Hunter is the 20-year-old series that continues to engage us to the point that we easily devote +400 hours to our single save and keep wanting MORE.
Here's a trailer for the current "Main" game, Monster Hunter World:

If this is not completely your fancy, there's also the excellent Stories series, which is getting a re-release for all consoles on June 14th.

Some very good info so far! I'm more interested on what other people who are more focused on MH content, but I don't even know if they were at the event!

Raging Brachy
Zinogre
Fatalis
Mizutsune
Ceadeus (Hooray!)
Valstrax
Safi
Lagi

I was curious so I looked up how it was handled for MH:World. I guess it really depends on how far developed or integrated the Gamescom demo in late August will be like and how much more there is to fit into the release. I'd be more wary if they decided to rush release for some arbitrary date (say, Christmas '24)
Rise had a demo in Jan, 2nd demo in early March and release to consoles in late march

also idk why the way that the GS user uses the GS as a shoulder guard at the end of the forward spin looks really cool

how is cooking a steak to well done a cause for celebration
Really you have to imagine the possible transmitted bugs in this setting are pretty fearsome, even when accounting for the fierceness of the Hunts physiology

My body is ready to return!
I cannot wait to slap down Diablos yet again.
And it doesn't take forever to switch to its minigun form. Both good changes.

...its still in, right?
Braining monsters has never disappointed me yet. Going to really miss the high speed multihit version of it though for sure.

In the Wilds video, charging the shield did use the phials as normal. Looked to work the same as it did in World.
