If you’re like me, knowing that 2018 is just around the corner just makes you wish you could hibernate and be woken up when Monster Hunter: World comes out. Alas, that’s not really feasible, so instead we’re pumping even more fuel into the hype train with a full month of new details and gameplay from Game Informer!

In addition to the incredibly epic cover art above featuring the terrifying Nergigante and a hunter brandishing its armor and Sword & Shield, the December issue will feature 12 pages of coverage including stories, interviews and more.

And on the lead up to the magazine hitting store shelves—or your mailbox if you’re a subscriber—Game Informer will be updating their online hub with new features and fun videos all throughout the month, so keep an eye out on gameinformer.com/monsterhunter for more on Monster Hunter: World !
