CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games, together with Capcom, invite gamers around the world to take on a monster hunt of epic proportions, as TheWitcher 3: Wild Hunt-themed content makes its way into Monster Hunter: World.

The crossover content revolves around a new, original quest line available to all Monster Hunter: World players who reached Hunter Rank 16 or above.
