Capcom revealed during Sony’s Tokyo Game Show event today that Monster Hunter: World is coming out for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide on January 26. A PC version will follow later.

The Monster Hunter series has been a huge success in Japan, but it’s had a more limited appeal in Western markets. The series has sold over 40 million games. World will attempt to bring in more fans to the action role-playing franchise with its larger open-worlds. For the past few entries, the franchise had mostly found its home on the 3DS. Aside from some Wii U releases, this is Monster Hunter’s big return to modern home consoles.
