Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is the highly anticipated massive expansion to Monster Hunter: World,
the bestselling Capcom title of all time with more than 12 million units shipped worldwide adding to the
series total of more than 53 million units to date. This gargantuan follow-up rivals the gameplay volume
from the original release and features a new icy setting, storyline, monsters, gameplay options, and more.
The game’s all-new story picks up after Monster Hunter: World and whisks hunters away to the newly
discovered chilly locale that, once fully explored, becomes the largest region in World so far. The new locale
is home to several new and returning monsters ready to challenge hunters throughout their expeditions,
and raises the stakes with the added higher difficulty Master Rank. Iceborne continues the skill-based
progression and robust crafting system found in World, and expands that with several new gameplay
features that broaden the player’s combat repertoire. All this leads to the ultimate hunter test against
the mysterious new flagship monster, Velkhana.

In Earth’s near future, climate extremes, overpopulation, food shortages, and a global pandemic led to
nations collapsing and humankind on the brink of extinction.
Scientists adopted a means in which the human brain was removed and surgically encased into a robotic
armature; a process known as Integration.
It was meant to be a temporary solution to an unavoidable crisis.
It was a good thing for decades, allowing humans to survive. But some of the Integrated saw this new
form as the future of humanity.
With no desire to reverse the process, the post-humanist Integrated stratified, calling themselves the Rayonne.
Global war soon erupted, and Rayonne forces now seek to hunt down any remaining humans, forcing
their integration, and destroying those who don’t share their views.
In Disintegration, you play an Integrated character named Romer. He’s one of many who rebelled and are
now outlawed by the Rayonne.
It’s up to you to lead a small group of these Outlaws, people who have chosen to fight back and survive,
into a brighter future where we protect those they care about and hope to one day become human again.

Disintegration is a sci-fi FPS combined with RTS elements.
Pilot a heavily weaponized Gravcycle while commanding your troops on the ground as you battle through
a thrilling single-player campaign and in frenetic PvP multiplayer.
In Earth’s near future, climate extremes, overpopulation, food shortages, and a global pandemic led to nations collapsing and humankind on the brink of extinction.
Scientists adopted a means in which the human brain was removed and surgically encased into a robotic armature; a process known as Integration.
It was a good thing for decades, allowing humans to survive. But some of the Integrated saw this new form as the future of humanity.
Global war soon erupted, and Rayonne forces now seek to hunt down any remaining humans, forcing their integration, and destroying those who don’t share their views.
In Disintegration, you play an Integrated character named Romer. He’s one of many who rebelled and are now outlawed by the Rayonne.
It’s up to you to lead a small group of these Outlaws, people who have chosen to fight back and survive, into a brighter future where we protect those they care about and hope to one day become human again.

The Steam version will include all of the content previously released on the other platforms. This includes the Ships of Fortune update released last April that introduced a new emissary system, allowing players to become an emissary in the game.
Sea of Thieves was a slow burn that has greatly improved over the last two years.
Sea of Thieves is an always online, shared-world adventure game . While your character and levels, such as they are in the game are persistent, the world is not. Every time you load in, you’re given a fresh ship to quickly customise as you’d wish. You can choose between 3 types of ship, the small but nimble Sloop with a choice of either solo or a 2 player crew; The fast but single decked Brigantine (or Briggy as it’s affectionately known) for 3 players, and last but not least, the impressive and formidable Galleon. Maximum firepower and the fastest ship with the wind, but slow to manoeuvre. Anything you’ve found, like storage crates or resources in your last session don’t come with you.
Be The Pirate You Want To Be - With musket loaded and grog in hand, the freedom of the pirate life awaits. What will your legend be? An epic multiplayer adventure. Crew up and set sail on memorable voyages. Make and break your pirates' code on the Sea of Thieves. A treacherous shared world. Plot your course and set sail for hidden riches. Navigate the perils of a fantastical world and the danger of rival crews. Collapse
