Because free online play and WiiSpeak just wasn't enough...

With the launch of Monster Hunter Tri now just around the corner, it has been announced that along with free online 4 player co-op and WiiSpeak compatibilty, there will also be online quests to participate in which will offer rare items to the hunters that dare participate. A full rundown on what to expect can be found just below.

Event quests: 4 players can join together that meet the required hunter rank to participate in numerous challenges and fighting out against monsters of varying difficulty. These event quests will also offer the 3 specialized weapons that fans of the series dreamt up for Capcom some months ago. For hunters too low a rank to join in, they will have to work on their hunter for the next time that specific event returns.

Gigantic Monster Quests: Specialised 1 day events, so make sure you're quick to take up these. Challenges put players against the mighty Jhen Mohran whilst on a ship, which will have you make use of the ships cannons as well as your own hunting skills.

Arena Quests: These put 2 hunters to work together in coliseums battling massive beasts, or in a time-attack mode which will offer better rewards the faster your completion time is.

Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri is set to launch on April 23rd in Europe. Stay tuned for our very own review shortly!.
