More monsters will come into "Monster Hunter World." The brand-new television advertisement for the upcoming video game teases more areas to explore, a lot of monsters to take down, and an inclusive gaming experience.

Even if the TV spot was just for half a minute, it still manages to give enough new material, especially for fans who have been anticipating the game's release. It also gave players a look into the game's three areas: Ancient Forest, Coral Highlands and Wildspire Waste.

To recall, during the Tokyo Game Show in September, fans were treated "Monster Hunter World" releasing its full-length trailer with a dragon. Capcom's video game trailer also teases open-world exploration, crafting, customizing characters.

One noteworthy feature shown was the elaborate customization of characters which adds to "Monster Hunter World's" immersive gaming experience. The demo trailer illustrated how to create a character before players start a new game. The choices and options for the character's look are so diverse that it might be overwhelming for some players who are just starting out.

Pet lovers who play the video game can customize a partner to their liking too. VG 24/7 noted that these partner pets will not only be part of the game but will be included in the cutscenes too. This is good news for players since they will be able to see and experience these partner pets as they go through the game.

The last quarter of the trailer shows the main feature, the dragon. The battle between the two can only be described as perilous and not for just any player who jumps in without strategy.

"Monster Hunter World" drops worldwide on Jan. 26, 2018, for video game consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One while the PC version for Windows 10 will come at a later date.
