$45 Monster Hunter World Available This Week In The US

Monster Hunter World has just released a new update with a major new monster to battle, and if you haven't bought the game yet, now is a great time. Best Buy has a nice off sale on this week, letting players in the US pick up the game on PS4 or Xbox One for $45.

If you're a member of Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU), you can really pick up the game for a steal--it's available for $36. The deal is listed in Best Buy's weekly flyer, meaning you have through Saturday, March 31 to take advantage.

Last week, developer Capcom released an update for Monster Hunter World with a whole host of new content and balance changes for almost every type of weapon for the game. The biggest addition in the update is the introduction of the game's first new monster since its launch. Deviljho will be known to players of previous Monster Hunter games and poses a serious challenge. Of course, with great risk comes great reward, and you can get a look at all the new gear you can craft and acquire in our gallery.

Capcom is about to release even more content for the game in the form of the Spring Blossom Fest, which begins on April 5. Players will be able to take part in "daily, fun activities" during the event. There will also be two new Event Quests beginning at this time: one to obtain the fan-created Wyvern Ignition Great Sword and the other for the retro Mega Man Palico armor.
