Summary
Monster Hunterfans are eating well this year asCapcomhas been doing all sorts to celebrate the series turning 20. The only thing it doesn’t have is a new game sinceMonster Hunter Wildswon’t be here until 2025. There’s plenty more you can do to fill the gap between now and then though, including playing a few rounds of Monster Hunter World: The Board Game. A tabletop adventure that will become even bigger before the end of 2024 as its Kirin and Picking Bones expansions are incoming, and now there’s a bundle that combines the two.
Steamforged Games revealed the expansions back in February, opening a pre-order period that will close on June 28. However, it has since added another option, with a little more than two weeks to spare, that combines the two upcoming sets. Dubbed the New Monster pre-order bundle, you can grab the expansions via the link in the box below.
Yes, it is priced at $129.99 which means there’s no discount to be had for buying the Kirin ($54.99) and Picking Bones ($74.99) expansions together. You will get some added extras if you opt for the bundle over buying the expansions separately though, two of which are pre-order exclusives, possibly suggesting these expansions will be available again after they’ve been released. The New Monster bundle includes a Glowing Guide holographic card pack, Coral Highlands and Rotten Vale neoprene arena, and a code for 20 percent off anything in Monster Hunter’s tabletop range.
Buy The Expansions Bundled Together For Some Pre-Order Exclusives
Monster Hunter World: The Board Game - New Monster Bundle
Steamforged Games' New Monster bundle combines Monster Hunter: The Board Game’s two 2024 expansions - Kirin and Picking Bones - into one neat package. It also includes pre-order exclusives you won’t get when buying the expansions individually.
With that in mind, if you’re new to the Monster Hunter World board game, you’d be wise to buy the expansions before you buy the base game. Worth noting at this point that the bundle does not include the base game but the expansions will be useless without it. If you buy the New Monster bundle first, you can then use your 20 percent code to buy the base game for less. The base game should also arrive long before the expansions do so you can learn the ropes and get a feel for it as the Kirin and Picking Bones expansions won’t ship until the final quarter of the year.
If a tabletop Monster Hunter experience alone isn’t enough to stave off your hunger for Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has also been treating us to a steady slow of plushes,most of which were revealed at the start of 2024for the year ahead. That initial reveal has been added to recently though asZinogre and Tigrex plush pre-orders went live. They won’t be here until the end of the year either, though.
