[Shawn Zipay]

Monster Hunter: World will be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this Friday, January 26 (PC will get it this Fall). As such, the development team is releasing a series of behind the scenes videos. Today marks the release of the first video, "Concept."

Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, Executive Director/Art Director Kaname Fujioka and Director Yuya Tokuda, the first episode in the series examines how the project started and what inspired the vision behind bringing the living, breathing world of Monster Hunter to life on home consoles.

More videos will be released on a weekly basis. Future videos will include a look at motion capture and sound design for the game, plus additional interviews and other behind the scenes bits.
